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."

INDIA head coach Gautam Gambhir declined to discuss the 2027 World Cup prospects of senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, saying it was too early to look that far ahead despite acknowledging their quality.
Both players now feature internationally only in the 50-over format, but India appear to be managing a gradual transition rather than making sudden changes.
Rohit, who led India to the Champions Trophy title earlier this year, has been replaced by Shubman Gill as captain of the one-day side for the upcoming Australia tour.
Rohit and Kohli, with a combined total of 567 ODIs, have both been included in the three-match series against Australia, though their future beyond the tour remains uncertain.
"Look, the 50-over World Cup is still two-and-a-half years away, and I think it is very important to stay in the present," Gambhir told reporters after India completed a Test series sweep against West Indies on Tuesday.
"Obviously, they are quality players, they are coming back, their experience is going to be a handful in Australia as well.
"Hopefully, those two guys will have a successful tour, and more importantly, as a team, we will have a successful series."
Rohit, who captained India to the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, will turn 40 by the time the next edition takes place, which will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Kohli, a member of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning squad, is a year younger.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s future in the format is also uncertain. The 37-year-old, part of the recent Champions Trophy-winning team, has been left out of the ODI squad for Australia.
Jadeja said the selectors had explained the reasons behind his omission and that he would stay prepared for future opportunities.
"It is a good thing that they communicated the reason behind my omission," Jadeja said during the second Test against West Indies.
"But whenever I get a chance next, I will try and do what I have done all these years.
"Winning a World Cup is everyone's dream. We had narrowly missed out the last time, the next time we will try and make up for it."
