Rohit Shetty’s action-drama-thriller Sooryavanshi is set to be released on March 24. However, amidst the increasing number of cases of novel coronavirus, the release date of the movie, starring Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, and Katrina Kaif, is likely to be postponed.
So far the release date of the upcoming release has not been finalised and rumours are also surfacing in the industry that makers could extend the date due to the financial risks at the Box-office.
