Raghava Lawrence steps down as the director of Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb

It was a few days ago when Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmmi Bomb went on the floors. The film is a remake of Tamil film Kanchana and was being directed by Raghava Lawrence who had also helmed the original movie. It was yesterday when the makers released the first look poster of the film and announced the release date. And now, Lawrence has decided to step down as the director of the film.

Along with a note, he tweeted, “Dear Friends and Fans..! In this world, more than money and fame, self-respect is the most important attribute to a person's character. So I have decided to step out of the project,  #Laxmmibomb Hindi remake of Kanchana @akshaykumar @RowdyGabbar @Advani_Kiara.”


In the note, Lawrence has written that there are many reasons behind his decision and one of the reasons is that the first look poster was released without him being informed. However, Lawrence is ready to give the script of the film to Akshay so they can make it with some other director.

Laxmmi Bomb is slated to hit the screens on 5th June 2020. Now let’s see which director will replace Lawrence in the film.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
