Lara Dutta unrecognisable as Indira Gandhi in 'Bell Bottom' trailer

At the trailer launch of much-talked about Bollywood film 'Bell Bottom, the media persons who were invited to cover the event were at a loss trying to figure out the character played by Lara Dutta in the 1980s set spy thriller, headlined by Bollywood Akshay Kumar.

The film's trailer, which opens with a disclaimer, begins with an Indian airplane being hijacked with all of its passengers being taken hostage in 1984.

In the next scene, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is seen consulting with her advisors for a possible way to tackle the crisis.

She is then referred to Kumar's character, a RAW operative, code named 'Bell Bottom'. The rest of the trailer focuses on the covert operation pulled off by his character.
