Rohit Shetty's Awaited Cop Drama Sooryavanshi Delayed Again?
Rohit Shetty's awaited action entertainer Sooryavanshi is all set to release on April 30. However, reports are now saying that the makers may delay the theatrical release once again.
Rohit
Shetty's
awaited
action
entertainer
Sooryavanshi
is
all
set
to
release
on
April
30.
However,
reports
are
now
saying
that
the
makers
may
delay
the
theatrical
release
once
again.
With
the
night
curfew
in
place
and
second
lockdown
possibly
being
initiated
in
major
cities,
the
makers
are
now
wary
of
the
film's
release.
Due
to
the
growing
number
of
COVID-19
cases,
the
Maharashtra
government
is
already
considering
implementing
a
lockdown
starting
from
the
first
week
of
April.
Reportedly,
Maharashtra
is
a
major
market
for
Hindi
movies
and
the
lockdown
will
affect
all
releases
in
the
coming
weeks.
Talking
about
the
same,
a
source
told
ETimes,
"With
the
suspension
of
night
shows
due
to
night
curfews
in
cities
like
Mumbai
and
an
atmosphere
of
uncertainty,
it's
a
huge
risk
for
a
big-budget
film
to
release
in
theatres
at
this
point.
Given
people's
safety
concerns,
the
film
is
unlikely
to
release
on
April
30."
Meanwhile,
it
was
being
reported
that
the
Akshay
Kumar
and
Katrina
Kaif-starrer
is
all
set
to
release
on
a
streaming
platform
four
weeks
after
the
theatrical
release.
The
makers
are
now
contemplating
on
a
couple
of
OTT
options.
The
source
added,
"The
film
can
either
opt
for
a
direct
OTT
release,
simultaneous
theatrical
&
OTT
release
or
OTT
release
in
14
days
after
theatrical
release."
The
makers
are
yet
to
confirm
if
the
release
has
been
pushed
back
once
again.
However,
an
OTT
release
seems
unlikely
as
"Rohit
Shetty
has
never
been
in
favour
of
OTT
release,
so
the
film
seems
to
be
stuck
in
a
major
dilemma," the
report
said.
Along
with
Sooryavanshi
which
is
backed
by
Reliance
Entertainment,
other
big
releases
like
83
slated
to
release
on
June
4
and
Amitabh
Bachchan's
Chehre
which
was
set
to
release
on
April
9
in
theatres,
have
been
pushed
indefinitely
due
to
the
pandemic.
