The trailer for Akshay Kumar's 'Bell Bottom' was released a few days ago and fans were particularly impressed by actress Lara Dutta who seemed totally unrecognisable as the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Recently, the actress revealed that her father, Wing Commander LK Dutta, was a personal pilot for Indira Gandhi and she heard lots of stories about her while growing up. This made Lara feel a connection with the character she played in 'Bell Bottom'.

In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Lara said, “He had flown her many times and knew her personally. I grew up as a kid hearing stories about her. So, in a way, I felt an indirect personal connection with her."

Lara also shared a behind the scenes video from the sets of 'Bell Bottom' on her instagram and wrote, "Never had I imagined portraying a personality this pivotal & when I saw how this transformation translated on the screen, everything felt surreal & worth it. Can’t wait for y’all to watch my performance in #BellBottom on the big screen in 3D on 19th Aug."
