screenwriter

Arrora
had
said
that
the
rollercoaster
spy
ride
will
overwhelm
the
audience
with
strong
emotions.
"Bell

and
pierces
your

even
though
it
is
set
in
the
espionage
world," Aseem
said.
The

rumoured
to
be
a
remake
of
Kannada

the
same
name,
but
Akshay
had
cleared
the
air
by
tweeting,
"Bell

film,
it
is
an
original
screenplay
inspired
by
true
events."
