This is when Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi will release in theatres

Ever since the Central Government permitted theatres to function at 100 per cent capacity, the film industry has been buzzing with excitement. Several films that were lined up for release last year had to be postponed indefinitely. However, now it seems that the wait is finally over.

If the latest rumours are to be believed, then Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi is gearing up for a theatrical release this year. A leading daily got in touch with a source close to the project who revealed, “Rohit Shetty is leading the discussion with the theatre owners. Co-producer Reliance Entertainment is also a part of these meetings. The makers want to solve all the issues cropping up like payment of VPF (virtual print fee), revenue sharing, shortening of the window between OTT and theatrical release, etc. with the exhibitors. They are confident that there would soon be a consensus over these issues. The team plans to announce the release date in a grand fashion. It'll surely be something to watch out for. After all, this is the first BIG film of Bollywood to release post-lockdown. The team of the film is going to pull out all the stops to ensure that enough buzz is generated about the release of the film.” The source also stated that the film is slated for an April 2, 2021 release.

Sooryavanshi stars Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Jackie Shroff, Jaaved Jaaferi and Sikandar Kher. Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn also make special appearances in the film.
