Akshay Kumar‘s Bell Bottom is one of the biggest productions to release on theatres in recent times. Amid the pandemic, all releases have been shifted to OTT platforms, however, going by the early reactions to the film, it seems the Akshay Kumar starrer can pull people back to cinemas after a long dry spell.

He wrote, “Dear Akki, I’ve been hearing good reviews of Bell Bottom. Congratulations Party popper Also, your leap of faith in making it a theatrical release is praiseworthy. With you in this”.

His reply read, “Thank you so much Brother,means a lot Hugging face I pray Maharashtra opens up soon and you’d also able to watch it Would love to know your thoughts.”

The espionage thriller was originally scheduled to release in April this year but was postponed to July 27 due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in India.
