Meanwhile, theaters are yet to reopen in several parts of the country, including Maharashtra which usually has the most number of movie audiences for Bollywood films.

Earlier during the trailer launch event of the film when producer Jackky Bhagnani was asked if he was worried about Maharashtra not given the go-ahead to cinemas to restart, he said, "No I am not worried. Of course, Maharashtra contributes almost 30% (of the domestic box office). When it comes to Bellbottom, we are just happy with Akshay sir’s leadership and to be the flagbearers. This one is for the fraternity and we are glad that it's coming in theatres. Yes, business is important but for this film especially, I feel the biggest box office is that we are coming in theatres."

At this moment, Akshay Kumar jumped in and said, "Aur koi bharosa nahi. We are keeping our fingers crossed. Abhi bhi 17-18 din baaki hai (for Bellbottom to release). Kuch bhi ho sakta hai."
