Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bell Bottom’ packs a solid advance booking at the box office – Times of India

Akshay Kumar is arriving in cinemas across the country with his spy thriller ‘Bell Bottom’. The entertainer is scheduled to hit the screens on August 19 in theatres, barring Maharashtra where cinemas have not been allowed to open yet. According to a news portal, ‘Bell Bottom’ has got a good response for advance booking in major cities like Kolkata, Delhi and Hyderabad. Metro cities like Bengaluru and Ahmedabad are also getting a positive response.

Speaking about the risk of releasing the movie when only 50% occupancy is permitted alongwith other restrictions, Akshay had told PTI, “The pressure is there on everybody but I’m very sure that things are going to work out. There’s a challenge, a risk. But if you haven’t taken the risk in life, then what have you done? So we have gone with it. In this journey, I have my producers who have also taken the risk and that’s how we have proceeded.” Commenting on theatres being shut in Maharashtra, Akshay had quipped, “It is a gamble and someone had to take this gamble. We have taken this leap and I’m confident that this is going to work.”

‘Bell Bottom’ is directed by Ranjit M Tewari and is completed shot in Scotland in a bio-bubble during the pandemic. Set in the 1980s, ‘Bell Bottom’ also features Vaani Kapoor, Lara Dutta and Huma Qureshi in pivotal roles.
