Announcing the film’s release date on social media earlier this month, Akshay Kumar wrote:”Iss Diwali aapke gharon mein ‘laxmmi’ ke saath ek dhamakedar ‘bomb’ bhi aayega. Aa rahi hai Laxmmi Bomb November 9 ko, only on Disney+Hotstar. Get ready for a mad ride kyunki #YehDiwaliLaxmmiBombWaali.”

ICYMI, this is the post we are referring to:

The horror-comedy is a remake of the 2011 Tamil film Kanchana and it has been directed by Raghava Lawrence, who also helmed the original. Speaking of Laxmmi Bomb‘s online release earlier, the film’s lead actor Akshay Kumar told news agency PTI, “To be honest, today I am excited for this platform. But yes, I’ll say that I am also sad for theatres. After all, movies are theatres’ first birth right. But in the current situation, everyone’s safety is of utmost priority.”
