Filming
'Bell Bottom' had a start-to-finish schedule in the UK
In August, Bell Bottom became the first Bollywood movie to start filming amid COVID-19 pandemic, as the movie's team flew down to the UK. After nearly two weeks of quarantine period, the team started working on the project on August 20. Reportedly, Akshay even broke his rule of working eight hours a day and pulled off double shifts to compensate for the lost time.

With safety, time to get things moving again: Akshay

I hope this encourages film industries globally to do what they do best and start entertaining audiences again." The star hoped that Bell Bottom's successful shooting would reassure others that, "it's time to get things moving again (sic)."
