The movie was expected to commence shooting in the second half of 2021, but the second covid-19 wave spoiled the party. ## Recently, it was reported that the movie has been put on hold indefinitely due to budget issues. It was also said that producer Ronnie Screwvala had invested Rs. 30 crores loss on the pre-production work but now the investment has gone for a toss as the makers were not able to take the movie on floors due to various issues. Being an ambitious sci-fi film that needs a lot of VFX work, the budget of the film was increasing, and keeping that in mind, it was reported that the makers shelved the project. ## However, the producer Screwvala has now clarified that the movie has not been shelved but has been postponed for another six to nine months. In a statement, Ronnie Screwvala said that in the final draft of the script, the ambition of the movie and budget did not match, plus the uncertainty due to covid-19, didn't help either. ## The producer further said in the statement that keeping all things in mind, he along with Vicky Kaushal and director Aditya Dhar has decided to push the movie for another 6 to 9 months, for which, the leading lady of the film Sara Ali Khan also agreed. The team will now work to manage the budget and will kick off once the overall situation gets better. ## #TheImmortalAshwatthama is just postponed, not shelved...

In an interview with pinkvilla, the writers of the film, Aseem Arrora and Parveez Shaikh revealed that Akshay Kumar really liked the concept of the movie and he wants to create a franchise of it. ## The writers, however, said that they are yet to crack a story for Bell Bottom 2 and are trying to do something interesting. Aseem revealed that the idea of making Bell Bottom came after reading about the incident in a certain book. ## The story of Bell Bottom revolves around a real-life hijacking of an Indian Airlines flight in 1984 during Indira Gandhi's tenure as PM of India. Akshay Kumar plays a RAW agent in the film who was sent on a secret mission to rescue the 210 hostages. Bell Bottom is the codename of Akshay in the film. ## Meanwhile, the writer duo has also written the script of Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Mission Majnu, which recently resumed shooting.

Shamshera Meant For Theatrical Experience And Will Release When 100% Occupancy Allowed: Vaani Kapoor

Mumbai, August 25, 2021: Yash Raj Films' period action drama "Shamshera" is one of the few movies ready for release for a long time now. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor in the title role with Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt portraying the antagonist. ## Directed by Karan Malhotra, Shamshera was ready for release in theaters in 2020 but due to the covid-19 pandemic, it got postponed. Later, it was announced the 25 June 2021 release, but again, the second wave of the pandemic spoilt all the plans. There is chaos to release movies directly on OTT as theaters are yet to fully operational. ## Vaani, however, insists that Shamshera is a film meant for theatrical experience and will release only with 100 percent occupancy in the cinema halls. ## "It will release when the things fully normalize. It is meant for a theatrical experience. I have seen the film, and it's looking beautiful. It's brilliantly made. I am not saying because I am in it, but to see Ranbir Kapoor in this part is very refreshing", Vaani said to Pinkvilla. ## "I loved Karan Malhotra's Agneepath too. He has made a film which provides entertainment to all segment people, all kinds of audiences. The makers are waiting for the right time when one has 100 percent occupancy in theatres. It's a kind of film that requires the theatrical experience", she added. ## It is the first time Vaani is sharing screen space with both Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. The actress was recently seen alongside Akshay Kumar in the spy thriller movie, Bell Bottom, which was released in theaters on August 19. Vaani also has Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui in her kitty, in which she has been paired opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. ## Stay tuned...
