Ranbir Kapoor Prithviraj Kapoor

In a rare coincidence, actor Ranbir Kapoor‘s upcoming film “Tamasha” will hit the screens on the same day later this month as the digitally-enhanced version of his late great grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor’s 1969 film “Nanak Naam Jahaz Hai” is slated for re-release.

Imtiaz Ali directed “Tamasha” starring Ranbir will release on November 27, the same day as Prithviraj Kapoor’s superhit Punjabi film is up for re-release.

“Our chairman Raju Chadha was keen on re-releasing the film. We have digitally enhanced the film. It is a great film in terms of its story… it is important for the audience to watch this film. It is an iconic film,” Rahul Mittra, CEO Wave Cinemas, who are re-releasing the film, told PTI.
