Reliance Entertainment, Group CEO, Shibasish Sarkar talking to SpotboyE about the spread of Coronavirus said, “Worldwide there has been a 15-20 percent impact. At the same time, it’s not more than that- it’s a surprising trend, it’s not a dramatic effect of 30-40 percent. If you’re expecting a 50 million dollar business, you are opening with 40 million dollar. If you take the total footfall of people coming in to watch the movie, there is not a big difference as such but we also can’t ignore the fact that there is a downfall.”

‘Sooryavanshi’ is the fourth film in Rohit Shetty’s cop drama after Ranveer Singh’s ‘Simmba’, Ajay Devgn’s cop series ‘Singham’. The movie will have cameos by Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh.

The official new date of the film has not been announced yet.
