The source goes on to add that if everything goes as per the plan, the untitled film will go before cameras in 2021 itself. The team is presently waiting for Kumar to wrap up his ongoing projects Ram Setu and Raksha Bandhan.

Just like Bell Bottom, the forthcoming film will also be majorly shot in the UK in strict bio-bubble protocols. The makers are in talks with a popular filmmaker to helm the film. They are expected to sign him soon.
