Rohit Shetty and Akshay Kumar reopened theatres after almost 1.5 years of COVID-19-induced pandemic with their cop-thriller, Sooryavanshi. Despite a delay due to the outbreak of coronavirus in 2020, the makers stood by the decision to go for a theatrical release instead of opting for direct-to-digital streaming. Today, the film completed 2 years.
On the occasion of 2 years of Sooryavanshi, the makers of the upcoming thriller, Singham Again, unveiled Akshay's poster as Veer Sooryavanshi from the film. He is a part of Rohit's star-studded cop universe. In the poster, Akshay, whose character works for the Anti-Terrorism Squad, can be seen jumping off the helicopter in an important chase sequence.
Sharing the poster, Rohit wrote, "In Singham Again, we are just doing what our fans want us to do! So here it isâ¦Akshay Kumar and a helicopter! As we complete 2 years of Sooryavanshi, VEER SOORYAVANSHI joins the battle with Singham."
