Akshay Kumar on Sooryavanshi and Bell Bottom’s release on Independence Day: ‘Will make announcements at the right time’

Sooryavanshi, a Rohit Shetty film, was first scheduled to release in March 2020. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the movie was delayed by a year. Earlier this year, the makers announced that Sooryavanshi will hit theatres on April 30, but due to the surge in coronavirus cases in the country, cinema halls were shut down. Hence, the film was postponed indefinitely.

Produced by Rohit Shetty, Karan Johar and Reliance Entertainment, Sooryavanshi also stars Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh in pivotal roles.

Akshay Kumar’s Bell Bottom, which sees the actor in the role of a R&AW agent, was scheduled for a theatrical release on May 28. The espionage thriller, also starring Lara Dutta and Huma Qureshi, is directed by Ranjit M Tewari. Earlier this year, the makers dismissed rumours about Bell Bottom’s OTT release.
