Bellbottom, starring Akshay Kumar, has released its trailer, and movie appears to be an exciting hijacking thriller. Kumar’s character, who operates under the code name Bellbottom, is at the helm of a rescue operation in the trailer.
In this film, set in the 1980s, he is tasked with rescuing people from a plane hijacked by terrorists. According to reports, the film is based on the true story.
After the second wave of coronavirus shut down theatres, Bellbottom will be one of the first few films to be released in theatres. The creators just revealed that the Akshay Kumar film will be released worldwide on August 19th.
Bellbottom, which was completed in October 2020, was described by Akshay as a journey that “put the Hindi film industry right on the global map.”
Last year, sharing a poster on Instagram, the actor wrote, “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much – this maxim perhaps best describes the ‘Bellbottom’ journey from start to finish. A schedule that began as an impossibility has culminated into a storybook ending that has put the Hindi film industry right on the global map.”
After the first wave of Covid-19 subsided, Bellbottom was one of the films that began filming. Akshay had told out about the film’s tough shoot while adhering to all safety precautions. “It is teamwork and I am grateful to each and every member of the cast and crew from the spot dadas to the light dadas to the technicians to the make-up dadas to my lovely heroines Vaani, Lara, Huma, my director Ranjit and to Vashuji (producer Vasu Bhagnani) and the production team who believed in our audacious plan. The new normal has made us realise a different way of working that none of us could have imagined. I hope this encourages film industries globally to do what they do best and start entertaining audiences again. I hope our shoot during the pandemic reassures others that keeping all safety in mind, it’s time to get things moving again,” he had earlier said in a statement.
A few rumours earlier this year hinted that the film’s producers were considering an OTT distribution. Pooja Entertainment’s Bhagnani, on the other hand, issued a statement denying the rumour.
“Pooja Entertainment would like to quash all speculation in some sections of the media regarding the release of our upcoming film Bellbottom. Any announcement regarding the impending release of the film will be made by Pooja Entertainment at the opportune time. Nobody other than Pooja Entertainment has the mandate to make any statements with regards to any development with the film. We would like to request the media to support us as you always have and refrain from publishing any information that is not officially communicated by us. Stay safe and mask up. Our prayers with one and all,” the statement read.
Bellbottom is directed by Ranjit M Tewari and written by Aseem Arora and Parveez Shaikh. Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, and Nikkhil Advani are the producers.
