Looks like its double jeopardy for Akshay Kumar, the star has been hospitalized after contracting the deadly corona-virus and now his much awaited release, Sooryavanshi has been postponed.
With the current situation, as the number of corona cases are exploding in India, and keeping the safety of fans in mind, filmmaker Rohit Shetty met Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and postponed the film.
The film that features Akshay and Katrina Kaif in the lead was set to get a theatrical release on April 30.
The cop drama’s release had been a topic of speculation for a year now. It was originally slated to release on March 24 last year but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the shutting down of cinema halls.
Earlier, Akshay had announced the release date for his film along with a teaser video on his Twitter handle. He tweeted, “We promised you all a cinematic experience and that’s what you will get…the wait is finally over! Aa Rahi Hai Police. #Sooryavanshi releasing worldwide in cinemas on 30th April 2021. #Sooryavanshi30thApril”
In the film Akshay will be seen portraying the role of a DSP, who unites with Devgn’s ‘Singham’ and Singh’s ‘Simmba’ to fight crime.
