New Delhi:
Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar today took to his Instagram to share the first look from his forthcoming film, Laxmmi Bomb. Khiladi Kumar is playing a transgender in the Raghava Lawrence film.
Sharing a picture of himself as Laxmmi, Akshay wrote, "Navratri is about bowing to the inner goddess and celebrating your limitless strength. On this auspicious occasion, I am sharing with you my look as Laxmmi. A character I am both excited and nervous about... but then life begins at the end of our comfort zone... isn’t it? #LaxmmiBomb (sic)."
In the photo, he is seen donning a red saree with black blouse. Akshay is wearing red bangles in the picture.
The movie is the official Hindi remake of Tamil horror comedy film titled Muni 2: Kanchana which starred and was directed by Raghava Lawrence. The film also stars Liara Advani in the lead role. There is much speculation that Amitabh Bachchan might also appear as a transgender ghost in the film.
In May, Akshay shared a glimpse of his character. He wrote, "Bringing you one bomb of a story, Laxmmi Bomb starring @kiaraaliaadvani & yours truly! Bursting in cinemas on 5th June, 2020."
The film’s plot revolves around a man who is afraid of all things supernatural, but through a twist of fate, he is forced to confront his fear as his body gets possessed by the spirit of a transgender called Laxmmi.
Laxmmi Bomb is produced by Cape of Good Films, Fox Star Studios, Tusshar Kapoor and Shabina Khan. The film also stars R Madhvan and Shobita Dhulipala in pivotal roles. It will hit the screens on May 22, 2020.
