This recent update has been officially given by the film’s producer Shibasish Sarkar. During a recent interview with a leading newspaper publication he said, “It’s not practical to release Sooryavanshi on Diwali because we don’t know whether cinemas in major states are opening yet”.
According to the official statement that was released on wednesday by the ministry of home affairs, it clearly said that cinemas, theatres, multiplexes would be allowed to open but with only up to 50 percent of their seating and working staff capacity from 15th October.
Everyone is aware that there were many films all set and ready for release but they had to wait as cinemas were closed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
In those films Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi was one of them. Now with theatres being allowed to reopen, people would be expecting and wanting for this much eagerly anticipated film Sooryavanshi to release soon. However, that is not the case here.
Reliance Entertainment CEO Shibasish Sarkar, during a recent interview with a leading newspaper publication told, “It’s not practical to release Sooryavanshi on Diwali because we don’t know whether cinemas in major states are opening yet. The state governments of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have announced that their cinema halls will remain shut this month. So, it will be fair to assume that most states will open up only by December 1.”
He explaining the same also told a leading Indian newspaper that, “Some film will definitely release in December. We shall watch the proceedings. We will know how many people came to see it. And who knows where Corona stands in India in December or November? What if cases are still high?”.
Producer Rohit Shetty had shared a statement much earlier in March 2020 this year that said, “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 COVID – 19 (Coronavirus), we, the makers, have decided to postpone the release of your film Sooryavanshi, keeping 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…”.
