Out of all the films put on hold due to the pandemic, none is as anticipated as Akshay Kumar's 'Sooryavanshi'. The film was supposed to release last summer but the pandemic didn't let that happen. The release of 'Sooryavanshi' was announced and postponed several times in this duration. Makers are strict about not releasing it on OTT platforms since it features the ultimate team up of Akshay with Ajay Devgan and Ranveer Singh from their respective franchises.

There were rumors about the film set to release on the Independence Day but no official confirmation was made. Recently, the CEO of Relience Entertainment, Shibasish Sarkar has responded to these reports. He said, "In the last 18 months I am supposed to have released Sooryavanshi at least ten times. Rohit Shetty is shooting Khatron Ke Khiladi outside India. Once he’s back in India we will sit down together and discuss the release.”

So as it stands, the release date of 'Sooryavanshi' is still undecided and since makers want a full fledged theatrical release, things could take a while.
