New Delhi:  Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani” is set to re-release in theatres on January 3, 2025.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film was produced under Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and also featured Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin.The film had its original release on May 31, 2013.

According to a press release, “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, which went on to have great box office in 2013, will release on January 3 across 140 PVR INOX Cinemas in 46 cities.

Johar said “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani” is a perfect film to start the new year. “’Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ holds a special place in the heart of Dharma Productions. The film has great music, stunning locations, some of our most loved actors, and a story that resonates across all generations. The film leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling about life.
