“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,” said Aaditya Thackeray, Maharashtra Tourism and Environment Minister, reports DNA. Shetty’s cop universe, which began with the first Singham movie in 2011 and then with its sequel in, was expanded with Ranveer Singh’s Simmba (2018).  Sooryavanshi is the ambitious  cop-crossover project  that Shetty has been teasing ever since Ajay Devgn’s Singham made an appearance in  Simmba . In the closing scene of the Ranveer Singh-starrer, Kumar also made a cameo in his Veer Sooryavanshi avatar, announcing he would be “taking charge in 2019”. It was previously reported Akshay and Katrina Kaif would recreate ‘ Tip Tip Barsa Pani'  for Sooryavanshi.  The iconic song is from Akshay and Raveena Tandon’s 1994 thriller Mohra.  Akshay had said the song has been “synonymous with him and his career”. Gulshan Grover and Sikander Kher also star in pivotal roles. Sooryavanshi is produced by Rohit Shetty Filmz and Dharma Productions. The film is shot across Bangkok, Mumbai and Hyderabad.
