Sooryavanshi is Shetty’s next offering from his cop universe, which kickstarted with his  Singham  franchise and was bolstered by the blockbuster from last year,  Simmba . 

In April, Katrina Kaif was roped in the role of the female lead. Neena Gupta has also been brought on board, the actress confirmed in a statement to Mumbai Mirror. She will take on the role of Kumar’s mother in the film.

It was earlier rumoured that Sooryavanshi would be the Hindi remake of Theeran Adhigaaram Ondruand. However, Shetty released a statement dismissing the rumours and underscoring the fact that Sooryavanshi is an original project. The film is slated for a release on Eid 2020, and will clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic drama Inshallah , starring Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt.
