Taking to social media,  Akshay Kumar said, 'So many families would be thanking Sh Uddhav Thackeray today! Grateful for allowing the reopening of cinema halls in Maharashtra from Oct 22. Ab kisi ke roke na rukegi - AA RAHI HAI POLICE #Sooryavanshi #Diwali2021 '

The announcement of the release of Sooryavanshi ,  whose release in cinemas had been earlier postponed several times due to COVID-19 pandemic, comes after the decision of the state government to reopen theatres in the state from October 22.

The makers of the much awaited film have been against the release of the film on OTT evdn as the uncertainty on reopening of theatres in Maharashtra has led many filmmakers to release their films on OTT.
