Akshay and Katrina in Hyderabad to shoot the next schedule of Sooryavanshi

Superstar Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif have landed in the city of Hyderabad to shoot for a month-long schedule of their much-anticipated film Sooryavanshi. The film, which is being helmed by filmmaker Rohit Shetty, reunites Akshay and Katrina after a decade. The duo was last seen in Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan, which hit silver screens in 2010.

According to reports, Akshay and Katrina will be shooting for Sooryavanshi at Ramoji Filmcity in Hyderabad. It will be a month-long schedule. Both the actors will first shoot for a romantic song together and then Akshay will shoot some high octane action sequences for the film.


If sources are to be believed, the Hyderabad schedule of the film is going to be the longest shooting schedule of Sooryavanshi. After wrapping up this schedule, Rohit Shetty will fly off to Bulgaria. The director will shoot for Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 10 in Bulgaria. The final schedule of Sooryavanshi will be shot in Goa. Gulshan Grover, Abhimanyu Singh and Nikitin Dheer will also join the rest of the cast during the Goa schedule.

Meanwhile, Sooryavanshi has now locked new release date for its theatrical release. Earlier slated to hit the marquee on Eid 2020, the cop-drama will now enter theatres on 27th March, 2020. Rohit Shetty has preponed the release date of the film to avoid the box-office clash with superstar Salman Khan’s upcoming biggie Inshallah.

Inshallah, which also stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role, reunites Salman Khan with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali after two decades. They last worked together on Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999). Inshallah will now get a solo release on Eid 2020.

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
