Akshay plays the character of a transgender in Laxmmi Bomb. Calling it his most challenging portrayal, the actor said, “In my entire 30-year-long career, this has been my most intensive role mentally. I’ve never experienced such a character before, with this kind of action, reaction, body language. Credit for this goes to my director. He introduced me to a version of me that I didn’t know even existed. Also, I had to be cautious of playing it with full honesty without offending any community.
He added, I willingly gave so many takes and retakes, so that every shot is captured to its maximum potential. Even after doing some 150 films, I was very excited to be on set every single day, pushing my boundaries, learning more about myself. This film has taught me more about gender equality. Be anything you want, just don’t be ignorant.”
Laxmmi Bomb is the official Hindi remake of hit Tamil film Kanchana. Directed by Raghava Lawrence, who created the Tamil Original. The story revolves around a man who is afraid of all things supernatural, but through a twist of fate, he is forced to confront his fear as his body gets possessed by the spirit of Laxmmi.

Calling Laxmmi Bomb his “passion project”, Akshay Kumar, who joined the Disney Plus Hotstar virtual press conference, said, “Horror-comedy is my favourite genre. I had done Bhool Bhulaiyaa before this one. I had heard this story many years ago and I always wanted to make this film. It was like my passion project, but it kept getting delayed for one reason or the other. Eventually, everything fell into place and here we are. I’d like to give a huge credit for this to my co-producers Shabina Khan and Tusshar Kapoor. Also a big thank you to our director Raghava Lawrence.”
