However, at the trailer launch event, Lara revealed that she plays Indira Gandhi in the movie, which also features Vaani Kapoor and Huma Qureshi. After asking the media to guess her role, Lara even said, “If anyone is able to guess, then I will take all their family members free to the theatres.” She then added, “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.”

Directed by Ranjit M Tewari, BellBottom is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani. The movie will be out in theatres on August 19.
