Akshay
Kumar-starrer
Bell
Bottom
was
the
first
film
in
the
world
to
start
and
finish
shooting
during
the
COVID-19
pandemic
last
year.
The
spy
thriller
also
stars
Vaani
Kapoor,
Huma
Qureshi
and
Lara
Dutta
in
prominent
roles.
In
a
recent
interaction
with
a
leading
tabloid,
Huma
opened
up
about
her
experience
of
shooting
for
Bell
Bottom
amid
the
pandemic.
The
actress
said
that
Bell
Bottom
is
a
special
film
for
the
entire
unit
because
it
was
shot
last
year
when
the
first
unlock
phase
started.
Huma
told
ETimes,
"Bell
Bottom
is
going
to
be
a
very
special
film
for
all
of
us,
whether
it
is
me
or
the
whole
cast
and
crew
for
that
matter,
because
it
was
the
film
we
shot
last
year
when
the
first
unlock
phase
started."
Explaining
why
the
film
is
like
a
comeback
for
everyone,
Huma
further
added,
"It
was
going
back
to
the
film
set
for
all
of
us.
For
actors,
normalcy
means
hearing
those
words,
'roll
camera',
'action',
'cut',
and
after
that
long
and
sudden
phase
of
staying
at
home,
Bell
Bottom
was
our
first
step
to
normalcy,
it's
like
a
comeback
for
everyone.
We
are
fortunate
that
we
finished
the
shoot
peacefully
on
time.
We
cannot
wait
to
share
the
film
with
the
world."
In
the
same
interview,
the
actress
who
made
her
Bollywood
debut
with
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur,
also
opened
up
about
cinematic
journey
and
added,
"I
think
once
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur
ended,
I
realised
what
it
takes
to
act
in
front
of
the
camera.
Since
it
was
my
debut,
we
all
know
that
some
of
the
finest
actors
of
our
country
were
part
of
the
film.
it
was
quite
a
wholesome
experience."
