High and mighty: Akshay Kumar’s film, Bell Bottom, was recently screened at what is touted to be the world’s highest mobile theatre in Ladakh. “Makes my heart swell with pride,” tweeted Kumar. “At an altitude of 11,562 ft, the theatre can operate at -28 degrees C. What an amazing feat.” The screening was held for the Indian Army and CISF personnel.

Superstar Akshay Kumar on Monday said filming for his upcoming movie Raksha Bandhan in Delhi's Chandni Chowk, his birthplace, brought back "many memories".

Kumar started shooting for the Aanand L Rai directorial in Delhi on Sunday, two months after the team finished the Mumbai schedule. The 54-year-old actor took to Twitter and shared a video of his "morning run" in Chandni Chowk.

"Today's morning run on the sets of #RakshaBandhan brought back so many memories as it was in my birthplace, Chandni Chowk. And how lovely it was to hear the chatter of the people around, never gets old," Kumar wrote.

The actor had previously visited Delhi in August to launch the trailer of his feature film BellBottom.

Raksha Bandhan, starring Bhumi Pednekar as the female lead, is billed as a story which celebrates relationships. The movie also features actors Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna and Smrithi Srikanth in the role of Kumar's sisters.

Raksha Bandhan is produced by Colour Yellow Productions, Zee Studios, Alka Hiranandani in association with Cape Of Good Films. It is scheduled to release theatrically on August 11, 2022.
