The horror-comedy is the remake of the 2011 Tamil film Kanchana and is directed by Raghava Lawrence, who also helmed the original. “Through my character in the film, I have discovered a new version of myself. In my career of 30 years, this is my most mentally intense role; it has been that tough. I’ve never experienced something like this before. The credit goes to my director, Lawrence sir. He introduced me to a version of myself which I didn’t know existed,” Akshay said.
“This is unlike any character I’ve ever played. I had to be careful to portray this character with utmost honesty, without offending any community,” the 52-yearold added. Laxmmi Bomb will stream on Disney+Hotstar, bypassing theatrical release as screens remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
