The Maharashtra govt today announced the reopening of theatres in the state after October 22.

Post the major announcement, producer Karan Johar has confirmed the release date of Sooryawanshi. Rohit Shetty’s highly anticipated cop drama was initially scheduled to release on March 24th, 2020. Due to the pandemic, the makers had decided to slate it for a 2021 release around January and March. With the arrival of the second wave, the film was once again rescheduled, and now we can finally say, the film will release this October.
The movie, which is a part of the ‘Singham’ franchise, stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in pivotal roles. The film will also have special appearances by Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh, both of whom had arrived in style at the trailer launch of the film almost a year ago.
