‘Laxmii’ was originally slated to hit the silver screens on Eid 2020; however, it couldn’t release due to the COVID-19 crisis. The makers decided to skip the theatrical route and release their film on an OTT platform.

‘Laxmii, which is the remake of Tamil hit ‘Kanchana’, also starred Kiara Advani and Sharad Kelkar. The movie was initially titled ‘Laxmmi Bomb’; however, the makers had to change the name to ‘Laxmii’ after some groups expressed their displeasure over the film’s title.
