The Union government has allowed the cinema halls to function at 100% occupancy. Sooryavanshi, the much awaited film starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, directed by Rohit Shetty, is all set to hit the silverscreens on April 2, 2021.
Well there has been no official confirmation as such. But a close source reveals, “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 source further added, “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.”
When asked when the makers are about to announce the new release date, the source said, “It’s expected to happen next week. It won’t be surprising if the announcement takes place on the 9th, which is, Akshay Kumar’s lucky number!”
Sooryavanshi stars Akshay Kumar,Katrina Kaif, Jackie Shroff, Jaaved Jaaferi and Sikandar Kher. It is a part of the cop universe, comprising Singham (starring Ajay Devgn) and Simmba (starring Ranveer Singh). Both these actors have special appearances in the film.
