On
Sunday
night,
Akshay
Kumar
took
to
his
Twitter
page
to
unveil
the
first
look
poster
and
captioned
it,
"Get

and

In

80s
style
suit,
leaning
on
a
car.
The

is
expected

Meanwhile,
reports
suggest
that
this
Akshay
Kumar
starrer
is
a
remake
of
a
Kannada
film
called
'Bell
Bottom'.
A
Free
Press
Journal
report,
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"The
Akshay
Kumar
starrer
is
an
official
adaption
of
a
Kannada
film,
titled
Bell
Bottom.
It
released
earlier
this
year
and
was
directed
by
Jayathirtha
with
Rishab
Shetty
and
Haripriya
playing
the
lead
roles.
It
was
one
of
the
biggest
Kannada
hits
of
2019
and
was
loved
for
its
entertainment
quotient
and
for
bringing
the
80s
era
alive
beautifully
on
screen."
"Nikkhil
Advani
saw
the
film
and
instantly
decided
to
buy
its
remake
rights
as
he
saw
immense
potential
in
the
film.
He
also
decided
to
let
Ranjit
Tiwari
handle
it.
Though
his
first
film
Lucknow
Central
failed,
Nikkhil
trusts
his
capabilities.
And
then
Akshay
came
on
board
too.
The
scripting
of
the
film
is
underway
and
is
expected
to
be
completed
before
the
end
of
2019,"
further
added
the
source.
The
original
flick
revolved
around
a
police
constable
who
gets
a
chance
to
fulfil
his
childhood
dream
of
becoming
a
detective
when
a
mysterious
robbery
takes
place
at
the
local
station.
'Bell
Bottom' is
slated
to
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
January
22,
2021.
