Akshay Kumar's Bellbottom to clash with Fast & Furious 9; Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor's film eyes Holi 2022 weekend

Akshay Kumar's upcoming movie Bellbottom is set to release this summer, whereas Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's upcoming movie directed by Luv Ranjan is slated to release in March 2022.

Akshay Kumar's upcoming movie Bellbottom and Luv Ranjan's film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor have revealed their release date. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed that Bell Bottom will make its way to the theatres this summer. "AKSHAY KUMAR: #BELLBOTTOM RELEASE DATE FINALISED... #BellBottom - starring #AkshayKumar as #RAW agent - to release in *cinemas* on 28 May 2021," he tweeted.

Akshay Kumar's Bellbottom is set to release this summer while Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's Luv Ranjan movie is eyeing Holi 2022.

Bellbottom was the first Bollywood movie to have begun and wrapped filming during the coronavirus pandemic. The movie also stars Vaani Kapoor, Huma Qureshi, Lara Dutta and Adil Hussain. It is directed by Ranjit M Tewari. If things pan out as per plans, Bellbottom could clash with Fast & Furious 9.

The Vin Diesel and John Cena-starrer was slated to release last summer. However, owing to the pandemic, the movie is now tracking a May 28 release date, worldwide. Given the pandemic situation in the US, it wouldn't come as a surprise if Fast 9 decides to delay the release further.

The untitled movie also features Boney Kapoor, essaying the role of Ranbir's father in the movie. Talking to Mid-Day, Boney said, "Luv insisted I do the role. He reached out to Arjun, who persuaded me for it. While the team will be shooting at a stretch in Delhi, they have given me the liberty to fly down to Mumbai and attend to my productions." He reportedly flew to the capital to shoot his scenes for the movie.
