Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani's "Laxmmi Bomb" will hit the theatres on Eid 2020. The movie, to be be directed by Raghav Lawrence, will release on May 22 next year.

The film is the Hindi remake of 2011 Tamil horror comedy "Kanchana".In May, Lawrence had exited the project over "disrespect" and creative differences. 

The director, who was set to helm the Hindi remake of 2011 Tamil horror comedy "Kanchana", announced his departure from the project on Twitter.

Lawrence, in a statement issued on Saturday, said there were "multiple reasons" for his exit, one of them being the first look poster which was released without any discussions with him.

"In this world, more than money and fame, self-respect is the most important attribute to a person's character. So I have decided to step out of the project, 'Laxmmi Bomb', the Hindi remake of 'Kanchana'. I don't want to mention the reason because there are multiple reasons, but one of them is that the first look poster of the film was released today without my knowledge and even without discussing anything with me," the filmmaker wrote.

Lawrence said he felt "disrespected and disappointed" and as a creator he was not satisfied with the poster design. A week after stepping down as the director of Akshay Kumar-fronted "Laxmmi Bomb" over "disrespect" and creative differences, Raghava Lawrence says he will reconsider coming on board the project if he is given the respect he deserves. Lawrence said there were "multiple reasons" for his exit, one of them being the first look poster which was released without any discussions with him.

"Laxmmi Bomb" is produced by Cape of Good Films, Fox Star Studios, Tusshar Kapoor and Shabina Khan.
