The teaser was also shared by Kumar, Advani and Lawrence on their respective Twitter handles.

The film was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres on May 22 but due to the uncertainty from the coronavirus pandemic, the makers decided to release it on Disney Plus Hotstar.

“Laxmmi Bomb”, produced by Kumar’s Cape of Good Films, Fox Star Studios, and Tusshar Kapoor, also stars Ashwini Kalsekar, Sharad Kelkar, Manu Rishi, and Ayesha Raza. PTI
