Vivek Oberoi told us, “I am thrilled to know that one of my most favourite films, Yuva, will re-release in theaters on February 20. This film will always be incredibly special to me. It came to me at a very important time in my life and pushed me as an actor in ways I hadn’t experienced before. Working with the legendary director Mani Ratnam Sir, sharing the screen with such amazing, incredibly talented co-actors and being a part of a story that spoke so powerfully about youth, the politics and change, it shaped me both personally and professionally. The energy, the music, the absolute madness of Kolkata and the passion that we all poured into it. Yuva wasn’t just a film that we made; it was a whole vibe. I am so excited that a whole new generation will get to watch it on the big screen.“
