Rohit Shetty on Sooryavanshi getting a great response: It is not my success alone

Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif has received a great response at the box office. Recently, Shetty was felicitated by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), who hosted a special event to celebrate the film’s success.

At the event Shetty said, "Sooryavanashi is not my success alone, it is a success because of your blessings. We all will continue to work together. Thank you for your love and continue to shower your support on all our films. We all will stand together whenever any adversity comes."


Kamal Gianchandani, CEO of PVR Pictures, stated, "He (Rohit) is the hero of the film industry. What he has done for films and cine workers is huge. He did wait for two years and delivered a film which, like a magnet, has pulled audiences to theatres. We will remember this gesture of yours.”

Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who was also present at the event, said, "When a person keeps patience then the result turns out to be good. He has created history not only as a successful filmmaker but as a human being.”

Sooryavanshi also stars Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh in pivotal roles.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
