Confirmed: Akshay Kumar’s Bell Bottom set for theatrical debut on July 27

Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited spy thriller Bell Bottom, which was the first major Hindi film to begin production after the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic plateaued in mid-2020, has been confirmed to make its theatrical debut on July 27, 2021.

Produced by Pooja Entertainment in association with Emmay Entertainment, the high-profile film has been in news ever since its official announcement.

“I know you have patiently waited for Bell Bottom! Couldn’t be happier to finally announce the release of our film. Arriving across big screens worldwide, Bell Bottom on 27 July,” Kumar tweeted.

The highly-anticipated espionage thriller is set to be Akshay Kumar’s first release for the year 2021. The film was earlier slated to hit the marquee in April, but the makers had to postpone it due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in India.
