We all will agree that actor Lara Dutta looked absolutely unrecognizable in the trailer of Akshay Kumar starrer Bell Bottom in which she plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Kumar on Thursday shared a video of Dutta’s transformation on his Twitter account and wrote: What bringing a character to life looks like. Lara Dutta you’ve nailed it and how in #BellBottom! Catch it on the big screen, also in 3D, on 19th Aug.
In the video, Dutta can be heard as saying of all the people who are really, really responsible between all of this happening, I’m only being able to bring a character alive, if I can get into the skin of it. Super happy, I think the shoot went really well. I can’t wait to see it on screen.
Soon after the trailer dropped on Tuesday, fans initially struggled to spot Lara. At the trailer launch, even Lara challenged saying that if anyone was able to guess, then she would take all their family members free to the theatres. Later, the actor herself revealed that she is playing Mrs. Indira Gandhi in the film.
Dutta also shared the video on her Instagram handle and wrote: Never had I imagined portraying a personality this pivotal & when I saw how this transformation translated on the screen, everything felt surreal & worth it. Can’t wait for you all to watch my performance in #BellBottom on the big screen in 3D.
