After working for more than a decade as an assistant director and stunt coordinator in mainly the films featuring Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty made his debut as a filmmaker with action thriller Zameen in 2003. Starring Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead, the movie despite its merits, had turned out to be a flop at the box office. Rohit Shetty then took a U-turn with his next film, Golmaal - Fun Unlimited and delivered a comedy that was not only a success at the box office and received positive reviews from the film critics but over the years it has attained cult status among the movie buffs.
Recently, director Rohit Shetty also took to his Instagram handle to share the news of his upcoming film Sooryavanshi getting postponed from its original release date. The film was originally supposed to release on March 25, 2020, but had to be postponed. The director took the necessary steps to postpone the film's release due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
The trailer of the film has been out for a while and has been well received by the masses. Sooryavanshi also stars actors Ranveer Singh, Ajay Devgn, Katrina Kaif and others. Currently, the film does not have a fixed release date, but it is expected to come to the cinemas as soon as issues regarding the current health scenario get better.
