Lara Dutta portrays Indira Gandhi in Bell Bottom

Everyone was excited to watch the trailer of Bell Bottom yesterday. The movie features an ensemble starcast including Akshay Kumar, Vaani Kapoor, Huma Qureshi and Lara Dutta. This one will take you back to 1984 when India faced a hijack situation. Although, the trailer had many intriguing things, but it was Lara Dutta, who was unrecognizable in the trailer, to become the topic of discussion.

Portraying the character of former Prime Minister of India, audiences found it hard to even spot her in the trailer in the first go because of the brilliant prosthetics work. Speaking of her character, Lara said, “Okay, so you did see me in the trailer. I’m playing Mrs Indira Gandhi in the film. That’s me. All it took was a call and they said that Lara this film is being made and we are casting for Indira Gandhi’s role. That is all it took, before I even heard the script. But yes, of course, there is a great responsibility when you’re portraying somebody who is an iconic figure like her.”
