Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the entire nation is under lockdown. Everything has come to a halt; also release dates of most of the movies have been pushed. Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmmi Bomb was supposed to release on May 22, but the latest reports suggest that the movie might release on the digital platform Disney+Hotstar.
As per a report in Mid-day, Akshay, director Raghava Lawrence and the producers are discussing the offer.”There’s a lot of post-production work left on the movie, including editing, background music, mixing and VFX. Since the team is working from home, the process is taking longer than usual. However, the makers are hoping to have the film ready by June. Although currently, the lockdown is on till May 3, theatres may continue to remain closed to ensure social distancing. In such a scenario, the team may consider having a direct-to-web release,” the publication quoted a source.
The source further said, “Akshay wants to make sure none of the invested parties make losses and that the movie reaches a wide audience. While Disney+Hotstar ensure a worldwide reach, making the film available across small towns in India will be a concern for them.”
Laxmmi Bomb is a Hindi remake of 2011 Tamil horror comedy Muni 2: Kanchana. It also has Amitabh Bachchan and Kiara Advani. Raghava Lawrence, who not only starred in Kanchana but also directed the movie has directed the Hindi version too.
