Tollywood's re-release trend is gaining momentum, with classic films outperforming new releases. Pawan Kalyan's blockbuster "Gabbar Singh," directed by Harish Shankar, was re-released on September 2 to celebrate Pawan's birthday. Originally a major hit in 2012, "Gabbar Singh" has once again made waves.

The re-release saw impressive numbers, with advance bookings alone collecting ₹4 crore and the first day’s total reaching ₹8.02 crore. This surpasses the previous record set by Mahesh Babu's "Murari," which had a Day 1 collection of ₹5.41 crore during its re-release. 

Despite being nearly 12 years old, "Gabbar Singh" continues to demonstrate Pawan Kalyan’s enduring popularity, setting new records in its re-release run.
