The man told Akshay, “I’m from Pakistan, your neighbour country. I have a request. You do fantastic movies like Pad Man and Toilet. There is an issue between India and Pakistan as well. Your recent movie Bell Bottom has certain things against Pakistan.”

Akshay quickly responded with, “Sir, it’s just a movie. Don’t get so serious about it. It’s just a movie. There are many things like that. It’s just a movie, sir.”

In Bell Bottom, the 1980s are depicted. Akshay played an Indian secret agent in the movie. Although the movie was highly received in India, it garnered harsh criticism abroad and was eventually outlawed in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Huma Qureshi, Lara Dutta, and Vaani Kapoor also had lead parts in the movie. It was said that it was based on actual hijackings committed by Khalistani terrorists in the 1980s, including the taking of multiple flights operated by Indian Airlines.
