Rohit
Shetty's
cop
film
Sooryavanshi
starring
Akshay
Kumar
and
Katrina
Kaif,
has
been
the
talk
of
the
town
ever
since
the
makers
dropped
the
impressive
trailer
last
year.
While
fans
have
their
eyes
glued
to
social
media
to
know
the
release
date
of
the
film,
a
leading
news
portal
recently
reported
that
Sooryavanshi
is
scheduled
to
release
on
April
2.
The
news
created
a
social
media
frenzy
as
everyone
is
eagerly
to
watch
Akshay
Kumar
in
khaki.
However,
it
turns
out
that
the
release
date
was
a
mere
speculation.
Shibasish
Sarkar,
CEO
of
Reliance
Entertainment
shut
down
these
reports
while
speaking
with
an
entertainment
portal.
Sarkar
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Spotboye,
"The
release
is
not
yet
decided.
It
seems
apart
from
me
and
Rohit
Shetty(the
producers
of
Sooryavanshi),
every
journalist
and
media
outlet
is
behaving
like
the
producer."
Meanwhile,
Reliance
Entertainment
who
is
even
backing
Ranveer
Singh's
'83,
is
yet
to
finalize
the
release
date
of
that
film
as
well.
A
source
close
to
one
of
these
two
projects
told
Spotboye,
"It's
all
very
well
for
the
false
sense
of
Covid-free
bonhomie
being
created
around
public
recreational
places.
The
fact
is,
the
pandemic
is
not
yet
gone,
and
attendance
in
movie
theatres
is
still
very
restricted.
Any
attempt
to
pull
the
audience
back
into
theatres
at
this
juncture
is
premature."
Both,
Sooryavanshi
and
'83
were
slated
to
hit
the
theatrical
screens
last
year.
However,
their
release
dates
got
postponed
owing
to
the
cinema
halls
being
shut
because
of
the
COVID-19
lockdown.
Now
that,
recently,
the
Ministry
of
Information
and
Broadcasting
allowed
100
percent
occupancy
in
multiplexes
and
cinema
halls
from
February
1,
2021,
we
might
hear
the
makers
of
both
the
films
make
an
official
announcement
soon.
Coming
back
to
Sooryavanshi,
the
Rohit
Shetty
directorial
stars
Akshay
Kumar,
Katrina
Kaif,
Jackie
Shroff
and
Abhimanyu
Singh
in
prominent
roles.
Ajay
Devgn
and
Ranveer
Singh
will
be
seen
doing
a
cameo
as
'Singham'
and
'Simmba'
respectively
in
the
film.
