Lara Dutta as Indira Gandhi

Actor Lara Dutta looked absolutely unrecognizable in the trailer of Akshay Kumar starrer Bell Bottom. The actor plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film.

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. 

The actor went on to say that she received a call from the makers about playing the former PM in the movie. The makers had told her that the film was being made and they are casting for Indira Gandhi’s role. She accepted the offer before hearing the script. 

Talking about her character, she further said that there is a great responsibility when you’re portraying somebody who is an iconic figure like her. It was a challenge to get the body language of the character right, she said.

Further, Lara said that the film deals with a hijack situation that happened during Indira Gandhi’s tenure. Given the dramatic events that were unfolding, Gandhi was somebody who was extremely centered and not really prone to any dramatics. So it was important to portray her in that form, said the actor.  She had a great time. A lot of homework and research went behind the scenes, it was an opportunity of a lifetime that she is thankful for, she added.

Bell Bottom is directed by Ranjit M Tewari and it will release in cinemas on August 19.
