Actor Lara Dutta, who was last seen in Azhar (2016) and web series Hundred, has made a comeback on the big screen with a bang. The actor essays the role of former prime minister of India Indira Gandhi in the espionage thriller Bell Bottom, set in the 1980s. The movie is headlined by Akshay Kumar, Vaani Kapoor and Huma Qureshi. The trailer of the much-awaited film was launched on Tuesday but the surprise element in the trailer was Lara’s look in the film. She was unrecognisable and fans were left pretty intrigued.

Netizens even gave a huge shout out to the make-up artiste behind Lara Dutta's look and said that he/she deserves a National Award. Looking at the response from the fans, Lara Dutta’s heart is filled with gratitude. On Wednesday, she took to Instagram and dropped a couple of pictures in her Indira Gandhi look, along with Akshay standing behind her.  Sharing the snaps on her page, Dutta mentioned that she is overwhelmed with people’s reactions while thanking Akshay and director Ranjit Tewari for offering her the role. 

Lara credited the success of the look to the make-up and prosthetic artist Vikram Gaikwad. Read her statement below:
