Sooryavanshi Celebrates 3 Years: Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif’s Action-Packed Thriller Still Making Waves

The makers of Sooryavanshi have celebrated the 3-year anniversary of the film's release, marking three years of action, adrenaline, and unforgettable adventure. Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film stars Akshay Kumar in the titular role of DCP Veer Sooryavanshi, alongside Katrina Kaif. The film's official Instagram handle shared a promo video, with the caption, "Three years of action, adrenaline and adventure! #3YearsOfSooryavanshi #Sooryavanshi."

 

Sooryavanshi was the fourth installment in Rohit Shetty’s highly successful Cop Universe, following the stories of Singham (Ajay Devgn) and Simmba (Ranveer Singh). It was initially slated for a 2020 release, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, its release was postponed twice. The film finally hit theaters on November 5, 2021, coinciding with the Diwali festival. Despite mixed reviews from critics, Sooryavanshi proved to be a massive hit at the box office, emerging as the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2021, with a gross of ₹294 crore.

 

Apart from Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, the film featured an ensemble cast with memorable cameo appearances from Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh reprising their roles as Singham and Simmba. The supporting cast included Jaaved Jaaferi, Vivan Bhatena, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover, Sikandar Kher, and Nikitin Dheer, among others, who played key roles in the action-packed narrative.

 

Produced by Reliance Entertainment, Rohit Shetty Picturez, Dharma Productions, and Cape of Good Films, Sooryavanshi was a testament to the larger-than-life action genre that Shetty has become synonymous with. The film’s Diwali release was a major turning point for the industry, marking a successful return of theatrical releases post-COVID.

 

Three years on, Sooryavanshi continues to be celebrated as one of the most impactful films of 2021, with its high-octane action sequences, strong performances, and memorable moments still etched in the minds of its audience. The film remains a key part of the growing legacy of Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe.
