Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited film Bell Bottom hit the screens last week and the results have been anything but desirable. The movie opened to below-par occupancies all over with some areas even reporting single-digit occupancies. The collections also have been quite disappointing for a release featuring an A-level star of Bollywood.
Bell Bottom’s sub-par reception has got makers of upcoming pan-India films worried. Films like RRR, Pushpa and KGF are some of the biggies that will be having a massive pan-India release.
With rising Covid cases and 50% occupancies still applicable in many states, releasing movies at the moment doesn’t look like a smart option. Adding to this, the chances of the upcoming 3rd wave are causing further concerns for the producers.
Pushpa is scheduled for Christmas 2021 release while KGF will release on 14th April 2022. SS Rajamouli’s RRR hasn’t locked a release date yet but would definitely a lot of discussions are on for a safe date. Presently, a lot of Bollywood biggies have also pushed their releases indefinitely while others are going for OTT releases.
