The comic caper Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 was all set to re-release on Friday, January 9. Several moviegoers, who couldn’t watch it earlier, were excited to finally watch the Kapil Sharma-starrer on the big screen this time. These moviegoers will be left disheartened as the re-release has been cancelled at the last minute. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Star Studio18, the studio partner and distributor of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, had assured of releasing the film in 500 screens in its second run. But they were able to secure only around 200-250 screens. Also, most of the shows were at odd times. Venus, the producers of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, were not satisfied with such a release. As a result, a decision was taken on the evening of Thursday, January 8, to not re-release the film at all.”
The source continued, “Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 originally released on December 12 and was withdrawn from cinemas as films like Dhurandhar, Avatar: Fire And Ash etc.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.”
