Bell Bottom: Vaani Kapoor Confirmed to Star Opposite Akshay Kumar in His Next Espionage Thriller
Vaani Kapoor signs her next big project! After Befikre with Ranveer Singh, War with Hrithik Roshan and Shamshera with Ranbir Kapoor, Kapoor comes on board for Akshay Kumar's Bell Bottom.
This is a big development. Befikre actress Vaani Kapoor has been roped in to star opposite Akshay Kumar in his next espionage thriller, Bell Bottom. While the announcement with the actor was done long back, the makers were still hunting for the right face as the firm's lead actress. The project would mark Vaani's first collaboration with Khiladi Kumar and the duo is expected to start shooting when things return to normalcy. While her last release War was a big hit at the box office, Bell Bottom can be predicted to mint in good numbers.

Bell Bottom was earlier scheduled to release on Republic Day 2021. However, Akshay Kumar decided to push the release of Bachchan Pandey to the same date and hence, Bell Bottom got shifted to April 2, 2021. But going by the current scenario, there are chances that it may not release on the announced date and the makers will start analysing a new release slot instead.
