Laxmmi Bomb was among the handful of mainstream Bollywood films that decided to skip theatrical release during the Pandemic and release straight on Disney+ Hotstar. The other releases were Sushant Singh Rajput's Dil Bechara, Vidyut Jammwal's Khuda Haafiz, Alia Bhatt's Sadak 2, Kunal Kemmu's Lootcase and Ajay Devgn's Bhuj. Out of which, Dil Bechara, Khuda Haafiz, Sadak 2, and Lootcase have already started streaming, while the dates of Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn's films haven't been confirmed yet. Saif Ali Khan's Bhoot Police, Akshay Kumar's Laxmmi Bomb, Katrina Kaif's Phone Booth - Taking a Look at Upcoming Horror-Comedies in Bollywood.

Now there is a new rumour going on that Laxmmi Bomb might back out of the OTT release and is coming out straight to theatre. The rumours were triggered by senior journalist Subhash K Jha's report in Mid-Day, that claims that Laxmmi Bomb might be heading to theatres. However, the article also mentions that the makers of the film is in negotiations for a joint OTT-theatre release. Like Disney did with Mulan.

The report also mentions that Laxmmi Bomb was supposed to come out on September 9 on the OTT platform, which also happens to be Akshay Kumar's birthday. However, there had been no official announcement if Disney+ Hotstar ever had such a plan, considering that we haven't even seen a trailer of the film yet.

According to another report in Hindustan Times, they have a different source close to the OTT platform claiming that there is no such plan to release the film theatrically. The report also suggests that there was no such plan to release Laxmmi Bomb on September 9, and that the original plan was to release it during November. Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi And Ranveer Singh's '83 To Release On OTT?
