A day after Disney Plus Hotstar announced the digital release of seven Bollywood films including Laxxmi Bomb, Sadak 2, Dil Bechara, Bhuj: The Pride of India, The Big Bull, Khuda Haafiz and Lootcase, cinema chains PVR, INOX, Wave Cinemas and Carnival Cinemas have announced the theatrical release of Rohit Shetty directorial Sooryavanshi and Kabir Khan’s sports drama 83.
Though there is no information on when cinema halls will reopen, the cinema chains have confirmed the most awaited films of the year will be festival releases. Sooryavanshi will hit theatres on Diwali and 83 will be a Christmas release.
Confirming the development, Reliance Entertainment Group CEO Shibashish Sarkar told Bollywood Hungama, “Yes, both Sooryavanshi and 83 are confirmed for Diwali and Christmas, respectively. We are committed to bring both Sooryavanshi and 83 in theaters whenever the exhibitors are open and whenever the audiences feel safe and comfortable to come back to cinemas. We feel and we hope that by Diwali and Christmas, the situation will be normal.”
