Recently, among many rumours about the film, including casting and choice for female lead in the film, one rumour in particular had been making headlines suggesting that Sooryavanshi is the official remake of Tamil film Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru and that Rohit Shetty has even bought the rights to the film. The Simmba director however, has dismissed these reports and said that Sooryavanshi is in fact an original film and forget, a remake, it is not even inspired from any other film.
