Akshay Kumar’s much awaited film Laxmmi Bomb is finally set to hit on the OTT platform. Now the makers are set to release the first song of the film ‘Burj Khalifa’ on October 18. The makers have dropped its glimpses in the trailer and are confident that this song will be the new chartbuster.
According to the information Akshay is planning big to unveil the track.
A source was quoted as saying, “Akshay Kumar suggested to the producers, Fox Star Studios, that they should release the ‘Burj Khalifa’ song at Burj Khalifa in Dubai, UAE. He believed that it’ll add to the film’s buzz. Also, viewers have seen film promotions happening online since the beginning of the lockdown. Hence, even they would have lapped up the idea. Moreover, Dubai is a safe place with limited Coronavirus cases.
Akshay, who recently commenced and even finished a shoot in the pandemic in United Kingdom, is aware of the precautions to be taken to pull off such an event without anyone falling ill. Hence, he came up with a detailed plan on this promotional activity, replete with safety measures.”
However this plan may not go on the track as smoothly as planned.
The source adds, “The Fox Star Studios team liked the idea but found it commercially unviable. They realized that flying Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani and others in a private jet to Dubai, accommodating them in a luxurious hotel, booking the Burj Khalifa for the promotions, taking care of safety and sanitization etc would cost somewhere around Rs. 65-70 lakhs. The management didn’t feel the need to spend so much at a time when the financial condition of the industry is not upto the mark. Hence, they politely declined the idea. Akshay Kumar understood their point of view and agreed.”
Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmmi Bomb is a remake of the popular Tamil film Muni 2: Kanchana. Laxmmi Bomb is also directed by the original film maker Raghava Lawrence.
The film is all set to release this Diwali, November 9, on the streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar.
