Bollywood star Akshay Kumar confirmed that his upcoming film, Laxmmi Bomb, will be digitally released on November 9, marking the actor’s first direct-to-digital release.
The new teaser of the film reveals Akshay Kumar in the role of a transgender, with a background voice chanting, “Your name will no longer be Laxman, you will be known as Laxmmi.”
Starring Kiara Advani, Tusshar Kapoor, Sharad Kelkar and Ashwini Kalsekar in supporting roles, the horror-comedy, which Akshay Kumar called his ‘passion project,’ is a remake of Tamil blockbuster film Muni 2: Kanchana.
Raghava Lawrence, who directed the original, will be making his Hindi directorial debut with Laxmmi Bomb.
Akshay Kumar has recently made news after revealing that the 53-year old actor drinks cow urine daily, joining a growing number of Indians who believe it has medicinal benefits -- including against the coronavirus, reports AFP.
Iss Diwali aapke gharon mein “laxmmi” ke saath ek dhamakedar “bomb” bhi aayega. Aa rahi hai #LaxmmiBomb 9th November ko, only on @DisneyPlusHSVIP!
