Sooryavanshi and Inshallah clash averted, Salman Khan announces new release date of the Akshay Kumar starrer

On every Eid from the past few years, there’s a Salman Khan film that hits the screens. This year released Bharat and next year on Eid, Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt starrer Inshallah will hit the screens. But the twist here was that Akshay Kumar starrer Sooryavanshi directed by Rohit Shetty was also slated to release on Eid 2020. However, the clash has been averted.

Salman Khan took to Twitter to announce the new release date of Sooryavanshi. Along with a picture of himself and Rohit Shetty, Salman tweeted, “I always thought of him as my younger brother and today he proves it... #RohitShetty Sooryavanshi releasing on 27th March, 2020.”


Well, Sooryavanshi and Inshallah clash would have clearly affected the box office collection of both the films. Sooryavanshi stars Katrina Kaif as the female lead and the actress was confident that the clash won’t happen. She had earlier said, “Salman loves Akshay, he loves Rohit. He will always be supportive of me in the workplace. So, I don’t think he will let his film clash with Sooryavanshi.”

While Akshay Kumar is teaming up for the first time with Rohit Shetty, Salman Khan will be back with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after a gap of more than a decade. It will also be for the first time when we will get to see Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt on the big screen together, and on the other hand, Akki is teaming up with Katrina after a decade. We are sure fans of Akshay are Katrina are excited to see them on the big screen again.

Talking about teaming up with Alia, Salman had told an entertainment portal, "Of course, Alia and I will really look good together. It is a lovely love story, it has got all hearts, it is fun, it is set in today's times."

Alia while talking about pairing up with Salman had earlier said, "Bhansali is a visionary. People are too quick to judge. There is a plan in place and a reason behind the [unusual] casting. I am thrilled to be working with Salman. Even I never thought this combination [working with Khan and Bhansali] is possible. It will be an intriguing journey and Salman is genuinely warm and kind. They are a magical duo together and I am blessed to be in it."

Values, inner apartheid, and diet

Values, inner apartheid, and diet

Dr. Prabodh Mistry

In the UK, local governments have declared a Climate Emergency, but I struggle to see any tangible changes made to address it. Our daily routines remain unchanged, with roads and shops as crowded as ever, and life carrying on as normal with running water and continuous power in our homes. All comforts remain at our fingertips, and more are continually added. If anything, the increasing abundance of comfort is dulling our lives by disconnecting us from nature and meaningful living.

I have just spent a month in South Africa, visiting places where Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela lived, including the jails. They both fought against the Apartheid laws imposed by the white ruling community. However, no oppressor ever grants freedom to the oppressed unless the latter rises to challenge the status quo. This was true in South Africa, just as it was in India. Mahatma Gandhi united the people of India to resist British rule for many years, but it was the threat posed by the Indian army, returning from the Second World War and inspired by the leadership of Subhas Chandra Bose, that ultimately won independence. In South Africa, the threat of violence led by Nelson Mandela officially ended Apartheid in April 1994, when Mandela was sworn in as the country’s first Black president.
