Mumbai: It seems Bollywood that was badly hit amid the COVID-19 pandemic is back on track as many movies are set to release in coming days. With the latest update, Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited film Sooryavanshi starring Katrina Kaif has finalised the release date. Rohit Shetty's action-packed film is all set to hit the screens during the Good Friday weekend. The movie is scheduled to release on April 2.

Sooryavanshi will not follow the traditional release pattern. The film is looking to release only in single screens and non-multiplexes chains across the country, as per reports in Pinkvilla. It quoted a source close to Director Rohit Shetty stating that the filmakers have halted the film's release for almost a year as they were waiting for theatres to re-open.

“Since multiplexes are not agreeing to the terms put forth by Rohit Shetty, and Reliance, team Sooryavanshi has finally taken a decision to release the film in the cinema halls on April 2. However, the catch here is, he would bring the film only in the single screens and non-national multiplex chains and bypass the big five national chains of PVR, INOX, Cinepolis and Carnival,” the source adds.

Well, this decision of avoiding big countrywide multiplex chains will not only move the movie’s collections but will also disturb such multiplex chain’s business course. Now all that remains to be seen is whether the movie which is being advertised to be a crowd puller manages to entertain the movie-buffs back to theatres.
