Mumbai, Feb 8 Actor Kunal Kapoor, who essayed the role of Aslam in the iconic movie "Rang De Basanti", called the film still worth the theatre seat even after 2 decades of release.

Kunal recently joined the cast and crew of "Rang De Basanti" for their 20th anniversary celebration, along with Aamir Khan, Siddharth, Sharman Joshi, Soha Ali Khan, Atul Kulkarni, Ronnie Screwvala, Siddharth Roy Kapur, and Ajit Andhare.

They all came together to mark the milestone moment with a special screening of the movie in Mumbai.

Kunal used social media to share some snippets from the nostalgic get-together, along with some scenes from the movie, and wrote, "When the past and present collide again. 20 years later, still worth the theatre seat. So grateful to have been part of something so special (sic)."

Bollywood hunk Hrithik Roshan commented on the post with an "Amazing !!".

Earlier, actress Soha Ali Khan, who was seen as Sonia in the Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directorial, also marked the special moment with a social media post.

Taking to her official Insta handle, Soha posted a few sneak peeks from the reunion.

She dropped a clip of the cast and crew of "Rang De Basanti" celebrating with a cake-cutting ceremony.
