The trailer of Akshay Kumar's ‘Bellbottom' was unveiled on August 3 after a long wait. Filming began in the last week of August last year and was completed in a span of over 32 days. If you've discovered the promo, the story is based in the year 1984 and apparently inspired by true events. The launch happened in Delhi with all the principal characters.

One of the first things that struck was the cake that the entire team cut along with the co-producer Jackky Bhagnani. The cake had the name of the movie written on it along with the statement- Unlocking Cinemas. Wearing their masks and taking all the precautions, the actors looked elated as they looked forward to watching films back where they always belonged.

Also, as the tradition goes, the team interacted with the press. Apart from Akshay Kumar, the thriller also stars Lara Dutta (who disappears into the role of the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi), Vaani Kapoor, and Huma Qureshi. Kumar and Dutta have done multiple films together in the past, with the actress making her debut with the actor in 2003 with ‘Andaaz'.

Kumar was also seen talking to the press after what felt like ages. The last time we saw him on stage was at the trailer launch of Sooryavanshi' last year in March. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, all the cinemas began to get shut after April. Kumar has acted in a lot of real-life stories over the years that include names like ‘Special 26', ‘Airflit', ‘Rustom', ‘Gold', ‘Kesari', and now ‘Bellbottom'.

This Akshay Kumar starrer slated for a big-screen release on August 19, is all set to entertain the audiences in a 2D and 3D format. While the news of the film's theatrical release has cheered the industry as well the audiences, the trailer has raised the excitement level of the fans many notches higher. The eagerly-awaited spy drama seems all set to revive the fortunes of the film industry and regalvanise big-screen magic.
