Easily done with explode():

$orig = './product_image/Bollywood/1476813695.jpg';
$origArray = explode('/', $orig);
$new = $origArray[2] . '/' . $origArray[3];

result:

Bollywood/1476813695.jpg

If you want something a little different you can use regex with preg_replace()

$pattern = '/\.\/(.*?)\//';
$string = './product_image/Bollywood/1476813695.jpg';
$new = preg_replace($pattern, '', $string);

This returns the same thing and you could, if you wanted, put it all in one line.

$str = "./product_image/Bollywood/1476813695.jpg";

$str_array = explode('/', $str);

$size = count($str_array);

$new_string = $str_array[$size - 2] . '/' . $str_array[$size - 1];

echo $new_string;
