The trailer of Akshay Kumar's âBellbottom' 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 âAndaaz'.
