Rohit Shetty's upcoming directorial Sooryavanshi marks firsts of many. This is the first time the filmmaker has collaborated with both Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. Moreover, this is the first film where Rohit is introducing new character Veer Sooryavanshi to his cop universe of which Ajay Devgn's Singham and Ranveer Singh's Simmba are already a part. The film has become one of the most anticipated flicks of 2020 and with each new update, fans have been growing restless.
Now, as per reports in Bombay Times, there's going to be one more 'first' for Sooryavanshi. Yes, the film will be screening in Mumbai theatres 24x7. Moreover, Sooryavanshi is hitting the screens on March 24, 2020, at 6 pm which is a Tuesday. Sharing his happiness, Akshay told the daily, "What a moment in the cinematic history of India...To be the first to present our film Sooryavanshi before what is now called 24x7 Mumbai is just the best way any filmi fanatic can spend Gudi Padwa. I wish this initiative was around when I was young, maybe I wouldn’t have bunked school so much."
While Rohit stated, "We are excited to take forward Aaditya Thackeray’s initiative, Mumbai 24x7, and release Sooryavanshi on the evening of March 24, which will run all night in Mumbai."
Aaditya Thackeray, Maharashtra Tourism and Environment Minister also said, "Mumbai is a city that never sleeps. It is also the entertainment hub of India. I’m glad that Akshay Kumar and Rohit Shetty are launching Sooryavanshi on the evening of March 24. A hard-working city deserves more hours to chill and unwind. That’s exactly our aim. Theatres running 24 hours will hopefully be a big boost to the industry and people. A film releases in the evening, on the occasion of Gudi Padwa, with the story on Mumbai Police and starring Akshay Kumar, who is a man committed to the cause of women’s safety and fitness — what better than that."
