Description: The film “Laxmii” is a Hindi adaptation originally inspired by the Tamil movie “Kanchana,” which revolves around the lead character of the same name. “Kanchana” translates to “gold,” a symbol associated with the goddess Lakshmi. Initially, the Hindi remake was considered to retain the original title, but the team opted for “Laxmii” to better resonate with the Hindi-speaking audience. The name “Laxmmi Bomb” was chosen to reflect the dynamic and impactful nature of the transgender protagonist, symbolizing a powerful and radiant force.
Director Raghava Lawrence shared that the Tamil film “Kanchana” garnered immense praise from the transgender community, with many personally visiting him to express their gratitude and blessings. He expressed confidence that the Hindi version, starring Akshay Kumar, would amplify the film’s message to a broader audience. Lawrence extended his gratitude to Kumar for embracing this significant role.
Produced by Akshay Kumar’s Cape of Good Films, Fox Star Studios, and Tusshar Kapoor, “Laxmmi Bomb” features a talented cast including Ashwini Kalsekar, Sharad Kelkar, Manu Rishi, and Ayesha Raza. The film’s inspiration stemmed from Lawrence’s interactions with members of the transgender community through his trust. Their stories deeply moved him, prompting him to bring their experiences to life on screen.
Lawrence emphasized that the movie aims to convey a powerful narrative about the transgender community, first through “Kanchana” and now with “Laxmii.” He believes the film will leave a lasting impact on audiences, offering a deeper understanding of the struggles and triumphs of the transgender community.
