Mumbai: It has been a long wait for Rohit Shetty's cop drama Sooryavanshi, but the director believes his much-anticipated film will stand the test of time whenever it arrives in the theatres. Malayalam superstar Fahadh Faasil, however, opines that every narrative has an expiry date.
While many producers are opting for a digital release for their films amid the uncertainty around the reopening of the cinema halls during the coronavirus pandemic, the makers of the Akshay Kumar-starrer continue to stick to their promise of delivering the film as a theatrical experience.
Sooryavanshi was originally scheduled for a release on March 24 last year. The makers had later announced in June 2020 the movie will hit the screens during Diwali but it was postponed again and was set to arrive in cinema halls on April 30 this year. There is no update on the new release date of the film, also featuring Katrina Kaif, as theatres continue to remain shut across the country.

Asked if there was a concern about the content of the film going stale as they wait for the situation to return to normal, Shetty said thanks to the subject of the movie and the way it has been shot, Sooryavanshi will "never look old".

"I never believe content will become old or something like that where my film is concerned. We had a promo out. There have been films that were shot and ready for three years and are all waiting... In the meantime, I have a film that is ready, I will start with the editing of Cirkus now. I am not thinking that the film will look stale, that will not happen for sure," the director told in an interview.
While it is a "challenge" to hold a film for a long time, the release of Sooryavanshi depends on when the theatres will resume operations, the director said.
