‘Bell Bottom’ also stars Vaani Kapoor, Lara Dutta and Huma Qureshi in lead roles. The movie has also been released in 3D.

Talking about shooting amid the pandemic, Vaani had told Zoom Digital in an interview, “It was all well planned, and for that one has to credit the producers and Akshay Kumar that one sails through without getting sick and we all come back in good health.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Akshay has a line-up of some interesting films in his pipeline which includes ‘Raksha Bandhan’, ‘Bachchan Pandey’, ‘Ram Setu’, ‘ Atrangi Re’ and others.

The actor is also awaiting the release of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Sooryavanshi’ which also stars Katrina Kaif in the lead role. It also features Ajay Devgn as Singham and Ranveer Singh as Simmba in special cameos. The movie was supposed to hit the theatres in March last year. However, it was pushed ahead indefinitely owing to the ongoing pandemic and the resulting lockdown. The makers are yet to announce an official release date.
