Producer Ronnie Screwvala Hints At The Re-Release of Shah Rukh Khan's 'Swades'

Mumbai, July 9 - Over the last few months, many old classic Bollywood films have been re-released in theatres, giving a chance to movie lovers to revisit them on the big screen, and a few of the films even went on to do well at the box office.

With cinephiles getting a chance to re-watch iconic films, there has been a frequent request from fans for Shah Rukh Khan's Swades to be re-released in theatres, and this might turn into a reality as per the latest development.



In a recent interview with IndianToday.in, producer Ronnie Screwvala hinted that the 2004 film may get another chance on the big screen as he feels that the movie was ahead of its time and that it needs its second time around.

Screwvala further added that Swades is an evergreen story and inspired a lot of people, and he also mentioned how the film represents the spirit and mood of the nation in today's time. "Shah Rukh Khan is a NASA scientist, and he comes back to rural India and wants to light the bulb, quite literally. Today, younger generations connect to that. You may go abroad to study, but eventually, you want to come back to your country", the filmmaker said.

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Swades is considered as a jewel in Shah Rukh Khan's filmography. The film is about a successful Indian scientist working at NASA who returns to an Indian village to take his nanny to America with him and in the process rediscovers his roots.
