'Bellbottom' first on earth to start out, finish shoot in pandemic
Alone we are able to do so little, together we are able to do so much - this maxim perhaps best describes the journey of upcoming film 'Bellbottom', since it completed its start-to-finish schedule in the pandemic, the first film on the globe to do so."
It's teamwork and I am grateful to every single person in the cast and crew, from the spot dadas to the light dadas to the technicians to the make-up dadas to my lovely heroines Vaani (Kapoor), Lara (Dutta), Huma (Qureshi), my director Ranjit (Tewari) and to Vashuji (Bhagnani) and the production team who believed inside our audacious plan.
The new normal has made us know a different way of working that none folks could have imagined. I am hoping our shoot during the pandemic reassures others that keeping all safety at heart, it is time to get things moving again," says actor Akshay Kumar. Bellbottom's tryst with a challenging scenario required out-of-the-box thinking and meticulous planning. "
It would have never been possible without the confidence and commitment of the crew that wished to make contact with work. Each and every person in the team showed unbelievable support. A big thank you to Akshay Kumar for agreeing to get this done. The successful completion of Bellbottom in record time is testimony to the resilience of the Hindi film industry," says veteran producer VashuBhagnani.
