The biggies that were patiently awaiting their chance in movie theatres have one by one by one decided to shift loyalties to the digital platform. The latest on that front is director Ranjit Tiwari's period thriller Bellbottom featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead. The producers Nikkil Advani and Pooja Entertainment had categorically denied any plans to opt for the digital option. And the film was poised for a theatrical release.

But now seeing the way the Covid crisis is heading, chances of Bellbottom keeping its 28 May release date in movie theatres seems impossible. The film is now being sold to Disney+ Hotstar for an early digital premiere. Confirming this development, producer Nikkil Advani says, “I believe it is being considered. But the final monetizing lies with Pooja Entertainment.”

Interestingly this is Disney-Hotstar’s second premium acquisition featuring Akshay Kumar. Laxmii which was acquired at an astronomical amount had a disastrous premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on November 2020.

To which Shruti answered, "Everyone is friendly, they're NOT." with a quirky smile on her face. Well, Surely Shruti answer was a really shocking statement to know about.

Shruti was asked which celebrity she would like to work with again and haven't worked since in a while.  To which, she answered, “Probably Rajkummar Rao. The thing is, him and I didn’t get along 100% during Behen Hogi Teri. We just didn’t vibe. And then, we got along really well after the movie, so I would really like to work with him again, with our new frames of mind, because I think he is fab.”
