"It is being considered," Nikkhil Advani confirms Bellbottom’s direct-to-OTT

The biggies that were patiently awaiting their chance in movie theatres have one by one by one decided to shift loyalties to the digital platform. The latest on that front is director Ranjit Tiwari's period thriller Bellbottom featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead.
