Directed by Ranjit Tewari, ‘Bell Bottom’ features Akshay Kumar in the lead role of a spy. Commenting on the risk of releasing ‘Bell Bottom’ amid several restrictions in India, 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.” While speaking about theatres being shut in Maharashtra, Akshay had added, “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.”
