Earlier, there were reports that Vashu Bhagnani requested Akshay to slash his fees for the movie due to the Covid-19 crisis. Later, the production house and Akshay rubbished the rumours.

For the unversed, the Maharashtra government on Thursday (July 29) approved the easing of curbs in 25 of 36 districts. It includes reopening malls and multiplexes, extending hours for restaurants and shops, and permitting dining out on weekends.

As per a report in TOI, Health minister Rajesh Tope said, “It has also been agreed to allow malls, theatres to open at 50% capacity. The state will also be insisting that shop owners ensure their staffers are fully vaccinated. The government will also discourage the use of AC (air-conditioning) where large groups of people have been allowed like wedding halls. It is better for establishments to open their windows and allow for better circulation”.

Coming back to Bell Bottom, it is presented by Pooja Entertainment in association with Emmay Entertainment. It is directed by Ranjit M Tewari and written by Aseem Arrora & Parveez Shaikh.
