Today,
Aamir
Khan
took
to
his
Twitter
page
to
thank
Akshay
Kumar
and
Sajid
Nadiadwala
for
postponing
the
release
date
of
Bachchan
Pandey
to
avoid
box
office
clash
with
his
film,
Laal
Singh
Chaddha.
Later,
Akshay
Kumar
tweeted
a
new
release
date
for
Bachchan
Pandey
and
revealed
that
the
film
will
be
releasing
on
January
22,
2021.
Interestingly,
Akshay
Kumar's
another
film
Bell
Bottom
was
slated
to
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
the
same
date.
Now,
the
makers
of
Bell
Bottom
also
announced
a
new
release
date
for
their
film.
Since
it's
been
a
while
since
the
Khiladi
Kumar
had
a
solo
box
office
release,
the
superstar
took
a
dig
at
himself
while
announcing
the
new
release
date.
The
Kesari
actor
tweeted,
"I
know
there
are
enough
memes
out
there
about
me
clashing
with
myself
one
day
but
22nd
January,
2021
is
not
that
day
😜
#BellBottom
will
now
release
on
2nd
April,
2021!"
Reportedly,
Bell
Bottom
is
a
spy
thriller
set
in
80s
and
buzz
is
that
the
makers
have
roped
in
Mrunal
Thakur
to
play
the
female
lead.
When
the
film
was
announced,
rumours
floated
around
about
the
Akshay
Kumar
starrer
being
a
Hindi
remake
of
Kannada
movie
by
the
same
name.
However,
the
Housefull
4
actor
cleared
the
air
on
Twitter
and
posted,
"Bell
Bottom
is
not
a
remake
of
any
film,
it
is
an
original
screenplay
inspired
by
true
events."
Directed
by
Ranjit
M
Tewari
who
previously
helmed
Farhan
Akhtar's
Lucknow
Central,
Bell
Bottom
is
now
slated
to
hit
the
big
screens
on
April
2,
2021.
