ReleaseEdit
Bell Bottom was firstly slated to release on 22 January 2021, before it was deferred to 2 April 2021.[15] The release was further pushed ahead due to a major delay of Akshay Kumar's another film Sooryavanshi that was finally rescheduled to release on 2 April after much postponement owing to COVID-19 pandemic in India.[16] In January 2021, there were various rumours that the film might directly stream online on Amazon Prime Video instead of releasing in theatres.[17] However by refuting the reports, the makers in February 2021 announced 28 May 2021 as new release date.[1]
