Also, everyone respected me for not coming for two weeks when I came up with ‘Sooryavanshi’, people could have clashed with me or came next week. But they Gave me that space because I was holding my film for so long. Now it’s my turn. Whenever I get a window, I will release it. The day I announced ‘Sooryavanshi’ (release date), I could have declared ‘Circus’ too, but it would not have been right,” the director told PTI.

“Circus” will be Shetty’s third collaboration with Singh after “Simmba” and “Sooryavanshi”, in which he starred in an extended cameo.
