Fans have been waiting for the release of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer “Sooryavanshi” since last year. Director Rohit Shetty has said that the release of the film depends on the reopening of theatres across the country.
The release of the film has been postponed three times due to corona pandemic. The cop-drama was originally scheduled for a release on March 24 last year, the makers had later announced in June 2020 the movie will hit screens during Diwali but it was postponed again and was set to arrive in cinema halls on April 30 this year.
At the press conference of his upcoming stunt reality show “Khatron Ke Khiladi”, when Shetty was questioned about the release of “Sooryavanshi”, he answered: “The question is when will theatres open up?”
Rohit, added that the vaccination of people across the country should be the priority. “The most important thing is vaccination and when that will happen then everything will open up. However, we should not think that everything is slowly getting okay. We still need to take precautions because even today everything is still not okay. In other countries the cases are rising. This time we all need to take utmost care and not go on holidays thinking everything is opening up,” the filmmaker was quoted saying.
After Ajay Devgn-starrer “Singham”, “Singham Returns” and Ranveer Singh starrer “Simmba”, “Sooryavanshi” will be the fourth film in Shetty’s cop universe.
