Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bell Bottom’ lands in legal soup

Akshay Kumar is at his career peak currently with his last few films proving mammoth box office blockbusters. In 2020, the Bollywood superstar has four films in the offing including, ‘Sooryavanshi’, ‘Laxmmi Bomb’, ‘Hera Pheri 3’ and ‘Prithviraj’. A couple of weeks ago, it was revealed that Kumar will be seen in the Hindi remake of Kannada film ‘Bell Bottom’.

However, it seems, before further details about the film emerge, it has got itself in legal bother after the Kannada director Ravi Verma expressed his dismay at the film’s announcement. He was cited in E-Times, “After acquiring the rights of ‘Bell Bottom’, I gave the movie to several production houses in Mumbai. Nikkhil Advani is also one of them. I feel they have taken the concept and the style from Kannada ‘Bell Bottom’ movie.”

Verma said that the poster is quite similar to the Kannada ‘Bell Bottom’. He added, “One of our guys has registered the Hindi title but, there is a rumour that he has sold the title, and there are discussion going on about this. Once we have clarified it with the Hindi team, I will call a press conference and give out the correct information. I am only concerned about our Kannada film, eventually it is also an Indian film.”
