New Delhi: Superstar Akshay Kumar is the first big star to resume shooting in Bollywood amid the coronavirus crisis. Akshay was recently spotted shooting in Mumbai with a limited crew. He has to shoot for six different ad films within a period of nine days as the superstar has to soon leave for Scotland to film 'Bell Bottom'.
