Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmmi Bomb's OTT release has become the talking point of Twitterati. It was already reported that the film will ditch the theatrical release and release on the digital platform due to the lockdown. While some fans rooted for it, others thought that a massy film with massy hero should be only released on big screen. Now, amid all this, reports surface that this Raghava Lawrence directed film has been sold digitally for Rs 125 crore and to be released on Disney Plus Hotstar. Bhumi Pednekar-Konkona Sen's 'Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare' Joins The List Of Bollywood OTT Releases Due To Lockdown?.

A source close to the development told pinkvilla.com, "It's true that the film will now be premiering on Hot Star. Although there was a bit of disagreement initially, everyone is on the same page now. The movie will indeed be releasing online." The source further added that it will take a month's time to finish off the post production work and to finalize the release date. However, fans were not exactly ecstatic about the same! Here are some tweets.
