Akshay
Kumar's
much-anticipated
film
Bell
Bottom
was
scheduled
for
a
theatrical
release
on
May
28.
Unfortunately,
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19
pandemic
spoiled
the
plans
of
the
makers
as
cinema
halls
had
to
pull
their
shutter
down
again
with
several
states
across
the
country
imposing
lockdown
to
curb
the
rising
COVID-19
cases.
Now
with
some
improvement
in
the
COVID-19
scenario,
Bollywood
is
slowly
getting
back
on
its
feet.
While
there's
no
news
yet
as
to
when
the
theatres
in
Maharashtra
and
other
states
would
re-open,
Akshay
has
announced
a
new
release
date
for
his
espionage
thriller.
He
took
to
social
media
to
announce
that
Bell
Bottom
will
be
arriving
on
big
screens
worldwide
on
July
27,
2021.
The
superstar
took
to
his
Twitter
handle
to
break
this
news
and
wrote,
"I
know
you
have
patiently
waited
for
#Bellbottom!
Couldn't
be
happier
to
finally
announce
the
release
of
our
film.
Arriving
across
big
screens
worldwide
#BellBottomOn27July
✈️."
Meanwhile,
recently,
there
were
rumours
floating
in
the
media
about
Akshay
Kumar
being
asked
by
Bell
Bottom
producer
Vashu
Bhagnani
to
slash
his
fees
by
Rs
30
crore
for
this
movie.
However,
the
actor
quashed
these
rumours
with
a
tweet
that
read,
"What
waking
up
to
FAKE
Scoops
feels
like!"
Speaking
about
Bell
Bottom,
the
Akshay
Kumar-starrer
was
the
first
film
that
was
shot
abroad
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic
in
a
start-to-finish
schedule
last
year.
An
overwhelmed
Akshay
had
thanked
the
film's
cast
and
crew
for
helping
to
complete
the
shoot
during
the
pandemic
in
a
heartfelt
tweet.
Directed
by
Ranjit
M
Tewari,
Bell
Bottom
also
stars
Vaani
Kapoor,
Huma
Qureshi
and
Lara
Dutta
in
prominent
roles.
