On Tuesday, Akshay Kumar announced the release date of his next film, Bell Bottom and the same has pumped in some excitement in the film fraternity. The producers have started conversations about getting a release calendar in place as the country has shown a recovery from the second wave of Covid-19 virus. Producer, Anand Pandit had launched the trailer of the Rumy Jafry directed Chehre featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi, however, the same was delayed by the second wave of pandemic.

Anand Pandit sees the announcement of Bell Bottom as a positive move and something that’s sure to give confidence to many more producers. “The show must go on, not just for the sake of entertainment, but for the survival of the industry. The second wave of pandemic is winding down and it’s natural to hope that life will regain normalcy, theatres will begin to open and audiences will venture out to watch films. I really welcome Vashu Bhagnani’s move to announce that a big budget film like Bell Bottom will be released on July 27,” Anand shared.

It’s a special film not just for me, but also for Mr. Bachchan. We have ideated, shot and curated the production values of the film to the magnificence of the big screen.
