Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani on Tuesday said he has narrated the final script of Bell Bottom to actor Akshay Kumar in a virtual meeting.
The nationwide lockdown, from March 25 to combat the spread of coronavirus pandemic, has put a grinding halt to shooting schedules of films.
Advani, who is the producer of the film, shared a picture of their Zoom meeting, which took place at 6 am.
Nothing changes for @akshaykumar during #Lockdown 6 am final narration of #BellBottom,” Advani wrote on Twitter.
