Akshay Kumar Starrer Sooryavanshi to get a theatrical release on November 5. The source close to the development said that the makers are planning to release the action film post- Diwali day

Ever since Maharashtra Government had announced that the cinema halls in the state will reopen from October 22, filmmakers are on the roll to announce the release date of their films. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a huge pause for nearly 18 months at the theaters. Now that they are opening again, filmmaker Rohit Shetty announced that his most anticipated film Sooryavanshi will hit the silver screens during Diwali.

The exact date of release of Sooryavanshi hasn’t been revealed yet, a source close to the development informed the leading daily that the film will release on November 5, a day after Diwali. The source further added that earlier, the norm was that a Diwali release would be released on the day of Diwali. But the collections get affected that day as people are busy with puja and other activities. The post-Diwali day is a holiday and it can lead to record collections. In recent times, Happy New Year (2014), Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), Golmaal Again (2017), directed by Rohit Shetty, Thugs Of Hindostan (2018), etc released on the post-Diwali day. And all these films had earth-shattering opening day collections.

The same source further said that the decision by the Sooryavanshi makers is correct. The film has maintained the hype despite the numerous delays. It is sure to open in a huge way, despite the pandemic restrictions. A huge opening day would make waves and would give a strong message that Bollywood is back with a bang. That’ll be possible only if Sooryavanshi comes out on November 5. Releasing on Diwali day would not help achieve that since the earnings would be limited.

One cannot forget that Sooryavanshi would also clash with Marvel’s, Eternals. The source asked to remember how the Hollywood movie Joker and the Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff starrer War clashed and yet both films did outstanding business. He concluded by saying that something similar can happen in the case of these two films.

It is sure that this Diwali will bring a wave of entertainment along with bright lights and the happiness of the festival.
