I had to internalise the character and get the body language right.”

Navratri is about bowing to the inner goddess and celebrating your limitless strength. On this auspicious occasion, I am sharing with you my look as Laxmmi. A character I am both excited and nervous about… but then life begins at the end of our comfort zone… isn’t it? #LaxmmiBomb

Well, Laxmmi Bomb was in the news as Lawrence had stepped down as the director of the film in the middle of the shoot as he had creative differences with the producers. While talking about it, Akshay said. “I have no idea what happened. Shabina (Khan, producer) and Raghava spoke and sorted out. Raghava is one of the finest directors when it comes to making a horror film. I respect him as a filmmaker. We started shooting (after the episode), and since then, nobody has even mentioned the incident. It’s all good among us.”

Laxmmi Bomb also stars Kiara Advani in the lead role. The film is slated to hit the screens on Eid 2020. It will be clashing with Salman Khan starrer Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Earlier, Akshay’s Sooryavanshi was slated to release on Eid 2020, but it was preponed to 27^th March 2020.
