Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2: Re-release of Kapil Sharma starrer cancelled? Here's what we know

Kapil Sharma's comedy starrer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, which was eyeing a re-release, this month has reportedly hit a roadblock. The film was initially released in cinemas on December 12 but faced a complete washout due to the release of major films, including Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar and James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash. Let's delve in to know what has led to the cancellation of the re-release of the sequel of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon.

Why Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 re-release has been stalled?

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, a source has stated that "Star Studio 18, the studio partner and distributor of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, had assured releasing the film in 500 screens in its second run. However, they were able to secure only around 200-250 screens, and most of the shows were at odd times. Moreover, Venus, the producers of the film's sequel, were not satisfied with such a release. As a result, a decision was taken on the evening of January 8 to not re-release the film at all."

Reportedly, the source further stated, "Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 originally released on December 12 and was withdrawn from cinemas as films like Dhurandhar, Avatar: Fire And Ash, etc., dominated the showcasing. Venus felt that their film was not getting sufficient showcasing and decided to re-release it at a better time. But even when the holdover releases have slowed down, they are not getting the screens that they demanded. This is the reason that such a drastic step was taken.
