Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi to release on Eid 2020; first look out

After Singham (2011) and Simmba (2018), hit filmmaker Rohit Shetty is set to bring his next cop film Sooryavanshi. He announced the movie in a very special way by dropping a glimpse of Akshay Kumar as ATS officer Sooryavanshi in his recent release Simmba.

Apart from calling the shots, Rohit Shetty will also co-produce the action entertainer in association with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Reliance Entertainment. The movie is expected to start rolling soon.


Before the film begins production, the makers today unveiled its first look along with announcing the new release date. Starring superstar Akshay Kumar in the lead role, Sooryavanshi will hit the theatres on Eid 2020. Earlier the movie was set for a Christmas release in 2019.

"Eid 2020 will be about a bullet for a bullet. Sooryavanshi stars the Khiladi of all time, Akshay Kumar and directed by the blockbuster machine Rohit Shetty," Karan Johar, who is co-producing the film, tweeted.

Sooryavanshi will be the fourth installment in the Rohit Shetty-directed cop drama series, the other three being Singham, Singham 2 (2014) and Simmba. "From Rohit Shetty's police universe, get ready for the fire-packed Sooryavanshi," tweeted Akshay Kumar while sharing the first posters of the film.

The makers are yet to finalize the female lead opposite Akshay.

Joaquin Pedro Valdes on finding his place in London and challenging stereotypes in British theatre

Highlights

  • Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes left a career in filmmaking and advertising to pursue musical theatre in the UK, following his first love for the stage.
  • Now playing Benny in RENT, he wants audiences to see the character as a complicated human being rather than simply the villain.
  • Valdes believes Asian representation in British theatre has improved, but says producers and creative teams still have a long way to go.

Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes spent nine years working in filmmaking, directing commercials and advertising before deciding to pursue the one passion he could never leave behind. Theatre had been part of his life since childhood, but turning it into a full-time career meant leaving Manila, moving to the UK and rebuilding his professional life in a new country.

Now performing as Benny in the West End production of RENT, Valdes is drawing on his own experiences of ambition, financial pressure and belonging to explore a character who is often dismissed as the musical's antagonist. For him, Benny's story is about more than money. It is about someone who once belonged to a community but chose a different path in the hope of building a better life.
