Sooryavanshi is one of the most awaited films of 2020. It has been in news even before the project started rolling, simply because it brings together superstar Akshay Kumar and hit machine Rohit Shetty for the first time ever.

The statement further read, "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.

We shall pull through this.”

The announcement regarding the new release date of the film is highly-awaited.
