It has been a while since Akshay Kumar was last seen on the screen with his 2020 release Laxmii which had a digital release. Needless to say, his massive fan following has been eagerly waiting for the superstar to spill his magic on the big screen once again. While the Good Newwz actor has some interesting projects in his kitty, there have been speculations about two of his most talked about movies – Rohit Shetty’s cop drama Sooryavanshi and Ranjit M Tewari’s Bell Bottom. In fact, there have been reports that these movies are likely to have a release on Independence Day.
Sooryavanshi, a Rohit Shetty film, was first scheduled to release in March 2020. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the movie was delayed by a year. Earlier this year, the makers announced that Sooryavanshi will hit theatres on April 30, but due to the surge in coronavirus cases in the country, cinema halls were shut down. Hence, the film was postponed indefinitely.
Produced by Rohit Shetty, Karan Johar and Reliance Entertainment, Sooryavanshi also stars Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh in pivotal roles.
Akshay Kumar’s Bell Bottom, which sees the actor in the role of a R&AW agent, was scheduled for a theatrical release on May 28. The espionage thriller, also starring Lara Dutta and Huma Qureshi, is directed by Ranjit M Tewari. Earlier this year, the makers dismissed rumours about Bell Bottom’s OTT release.
