Meanwhile, Vaani Kapoor will also be seen in Akshay Kumar’s Bell Bottom and Ranbir Kapoor’s Shamshera. The team of Bell Bottom took off for the UK yesterday (August 6), where the film will be shot in a start-to-finish schedule, adhering to Covid-19 guidelines. Lara Dutta, Huma Qureshi and Jackky Bhagnani also play pivotal parts in the film.

Coming to Shamshera, the film’s shoot was wrapped up in January this year. It stars Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist.

On the other hand, Ayushmann Khurrana was last seen in Gulabo Sitabo with Amitabh Bachchan. The film, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, opted for a digital release. Gulabo Sitabo was the first major Bollywood film to release on an OTT platform as theatres continue to remain shut due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Before Gulabo Sitabo, Ayushmann Khurrana’s Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan hit the silver screens earlier this year and was lauded by the critics and audience. The film also received international recognition.
