“It’s teamwork and I am grateful to each and every member of
the cast and crew, from the spot dadas to the light dadas to the technicians to
the make-up dadas to my lovely heroines Vaani, Lara, Huma Qureshi, my director
Ranjit Tewari and to Vashuji Bhagnani and the production team who believed in
our plan. The new normal has made us realise a different way of working that
none of us could have imagined. I hope our shoot during the pandemic reassures
others that keeping all safety in mind, it’s time to get things moving again,”
said Akshay Kumar.
“It would have never been possible without the confidence
and commitment of the crew that wanted to get back to work. Each and every
member of the team showed unbelievable support. A big thank you to Akshay Kumar
for agreeing to do this. The successful completion of Bellbottom in record time
is testimony to the resilience of the Hindi film industry,” says veteran
producer Vashu Bhagnani.
“We are immensely grateful to the entire unit for trusting
us to keep them safe. We feel blessed that we had the right energy on the sets
at all times which is the reason why everything came together so beautifully,”
adds producer Jackky Bhagnani.
