But now gradually, many film industries across the world are resuming shoots and Bollywood is no exception. The unit of Akshay Kumar-starrer Bellbottom has already begun shooting in the United Kingdom and many more shoots are expected to commence in the coming few weeks. The script of Ek Villain sequel is ready and pre-production is going on in full swing. The team of the film is confident that they will be able to take the film on floors in December. They are finalizing locations in India and abroad.”
