The release date for Bell Bottom, the movie starring Akshay Kumar, has reportedly been pushed to August 13 due to COVID-19. The spy-thriller set in the 80s was originally supposed to be released on July 27. The movie's release is being postponed as there are no signs of theatres reopening due to the second wave of the pandemic.
