Post Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise, Karan has been receiving a lot of hatred on social media. His death has triggered nepotism debate in Bollywood and Karan has been accused of supporting nepotism in B-town, thereby promoting star kids.
Helmed by Rohit Shetty, Sooryavanshi is the fourth in the Rohit Shetty’s cop universe. While in Singham and Singham Returns, Ajay Devgn was seen donning the police uniform, in Simmba, Ranveer Singh played a jovial police officer. In Sooryavanshi, Akshay Kumar will be seen rescuing people wearing khaki. Sooryavanshi will see both Ajay and Ranveer in special appearances.
The director’s action-drama-thriller Sooryavanshi was expected to hit the screens in March. However, amidst the increasing number of cases of novel coronavirus, the release date of the movie had to be postponed.
Recently, PVR Pictures announced that the new release Sooryavanshi will hit the theatres on Diwali 2020.
