A new generation will also feel the magic of the film." Adding to the sentiment, Ranvir Shorey said, " I am thrilled that Khosla ka Ghosla is getting a re-release almost 18 years after it was first released. I remember that the first time it was released was a difficult task for the producers because it was not a mainstream project, and getting a release was very tough. This time, when it is being released, the film is preceded by its reputation, so it is an exciting time. I am delighted that an entirely different generation will experience Khosla ka Ghosla on the big screen, and I hope everyone goes and watches it again."

No distributor was willing to pick the film but to our delight when it finally released, it became a cult film, and became a super hit overnight..!! It was the best work by Jaideep Sahni and Dibakar Banerjee that has stood the test of time, and its dialogues and scenes have exploded on the internet. Not a day passes when I don’t come across some reference to the film. The film was made as a family with contributions from everyone, including our cast: Anupama Kher, Boman Irani, Ranvir Shorey, Tara Sharma & Parvin Dabas was immense. To have produced and released the film will always be a huge milestone in my life.”
The film's actress Tara Sharma said, "I am so grateful to be part of a pathbreaking film Khosla Ka Ghosla…We had such fun shooting it, and the fact that 18 years later, it continues to resonate with and be loved by audiences everywhere is testimony to it’s being eternal.
Parvin Dabas says, “Land grabbing is a real menace that almost every landowner, big or small, has experienced in some way. I am thrilled it is being re-released, and I will always feel close to our excellent KKG cast, crew, and captains!
