BOLLYWOOD FACES ANOTHER SETBACK: In a setback to Bollywood, news filtering down more or less confirms that the COVID-19 pandemic is not quite done with wreaking havoc on the release schedule of films. Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bell Bottom’, which was set to be the first feature to hit theatres on July 27, appears to have deferred its release to August 13. While the makers have yet to officially announce the change, showcasers in India are already saying the reopening of cinemas isn’t going quite according to plan with many fearing a third wave sweeping the country. If ‘Bell Bottom’ does get delayed, this could set off a domino effect affecting other films in the pipeline waiting for their splash on the big screen. Until then, looks like Bollywood fans will have to make do with digital offerings and hope for the best in the near future. [COMMENT by Bindu Rai, Entertainment Editor]
