Akshay
Kumar
could
be
gearing
up
for
his
second
digital
release.
After
Laxmii
released
on
Disney+
Hotstar,
now
his
upcoming
periodic
spy
thriller
Bell
Bottom
could
be
hitting
an
OTT
platform
in
the
coming
months.
According
to
a
recent
report,
the
makers
are
in
talks
with
Amazon
Prime
Video
for
an
exclusive
release.
A
Bollywood
Hungama
report
said
that
the
terms
of
the
deal
are
currently
being
discussed
and
it
could
take
a
month's
time.
The
source
was
quoted
as
saying,
"The
producers
of
Bell
Bottom
-
Jackky
Bhagnani
and
Vashu
Bhagnani
-
have
started
conversations
with
Amazon
Prime
to
explore
the
possibility
of
a
direct
to
digital
release,
and
so
far,
both
the
parties
seem
to
be
on
the
same
page."
"They
are
discussing
various
prospects
including
the
financials,
and
there
might
be
some
clarity
within
the
next
one
month.
But
at
this
point
of
time,
team
Bell
Bottom
is
definitely
exploring
the
direct
to
digital
option
of
release,"
the
source
added.
Bell
Bottom
Was
Set
To
Release
In
April
2021
Earlier,
it
was
being
said
that
Bell
Bottom
which
was
shot
in
35
days,
will
see
a
theatrical
release
on
April
2,
2021.
However,
the
film
is
still
in
its
post-production
stage
and
the
release
had
to
be
postponed
for
two
months.
Last
week,
another
report
revealed
that
Akshay
Kumar-starrer
Sooryavanshi
could
release
in
the
month
of
March
or
April.
Bell
Bottom
Makers
Are
In
Talks
With
Amazon
Prime
Video
For
Release
"Given
the
costs
and
several
other
factors
associated
with
the
film
as
also
Akshay's
jam
packed
release
calendar,
the
makers
thought
of
exploring
the
digital
release
with
Amazon
Prime.
The
Bhagnanis
share
a
close
bond
with
the
digital
platform
and
so
does
Akshay,
and
that's
how
the
meeting
happened.
All
stakeholders
are
currently
working
towards
arriving
at
terms
and
conditions
that
are
beneficial
to
all
of
them," the
source
further
added.
Bell
Bottom
Is
An
Period
Espionage
Thriller
Akshay's
last
digital
release,
Laxmii
wasn't
received
well
by
the
audience
but
fans
are
hopeful
for
Bell
Bottom's
release.
The
film
based
on
true
events,
is
set
during
the
1980s
and
will
follow
some
unforgettable
heroes
of
the
era.
