is
an
experience
that
we

created
for
you
with
over
a
year
of
dedication
and
hard
work,
and
the
response
we
received
for
its

was
nothing
less
than
electrifying
and
made
it
clear
that
the
film
truly
belongs
to
its
audience,"
the
statement
read.
It
continued,
"We
have
been
as
excited
as
you
are
to
present
the
film
to
you
and
your
family,
but
due
to
the
recent
outburst
of
the

we,
the

have
decided
to
postpone
the
release

your

in
mind
the
health
and
safety
of
our
beloved
audience.
And
therefore,
Sooryavanshi
will
be
back
for
you
just
when
the
time
is
right."
"After
all,
safety
comes
first.
Until
then,
keep
the
excitement
alive,
take
good
care
of
yourself
and
stay
strong..
We
shall
pull
through
this..
