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.

Netflix approves $25 billion buyback after scrapping Warner Bros bid

Highlights

  • Netflix board approved a $25bn share repurchase on 22 April, with no expiry date.
  • The move follows Netflix abandoning its $83bn bid for Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets.
  • Netflix stock has fallen more than 10 per cent since weak Q2 guidance, closing at $93.24 on 22 April.
Netflix has approved a $25 billion share buyback programme, using capital it had kept aside for its failed bid to buy Warner Bros.
The board gave the green light on 22 April, with the decision disclosed in an SEC filing the next day.
There is no expiry date on the programme. It comes on top of an existing December 2024 buyback that still had $6.8 billion left as of 31 March.

Earlier this year, Netflix pulled out of an $83 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets after Paramount Skydance made a rival bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount then paid Netflix a $2.8 billion exit fee.

Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters had already said the company would restart share buybacks once the deal was off.

Netflix shares have had a rough ride. They hit an all-time high of $134.12 in June 2025, then fell more than 40 per cent when the Warner Bros deal was announced.
