Lara Dutta Leaves Fans Amazed With Her Unrecognizable Look In Bell Bottom

by
Lara Dutta Bell Bottom

One of the finest Bollywood actresses Lara Dutta is undoubtedly very much impressive whenever it comes to portray her fine acting skills.

This time Lara Dutta appeared to be unrecognizable for her upcoming film, Bell Bottom, which is all set to release on August 19, alongside Akshay Kumar, Vaani Kapoor and Huma Qureshi.

She is going to play the role of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the movie.

Recently, Dutta was asked about the character she portrays in the film. After much prodding, Dutta said, “So you did see me in the trailer. I’m playing Mrs Indira Gandhi. That’s me.”

The former Miss Universe revealed that she received a call from the makers about playing the former PM in the movie.

“All it took was a call and they said that Lara this film is being made and we are casting for Indira Gandhi’s role. It was before I heard the script.

“But yes, of course, there is a great responsibility when you’re portraying somebody who is an iconic figure like her,” she said.

It was a challenge to get the body language of the character right, added Dutta.

However, the trailer of Bell Bottom has received much appreciation, specially Lara Dutta’s character by social media users and fans.

Bell Bottom is a spy thriller set in the 80s. The film stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role. Written by Aseem Arora and Parveez Shaikh, the film was shot in Scotland.
