Bollywood fans, mark your calendars! Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bhoot Bangla’ is advancing its release to April 10, 2026, ditching the original May 15 plan. The announcement came straight from Akshay’s Instagram, where a pumped-up video declared the countdown officially begun, sparking massive online chatter.
Priyadarshan’s direction reunites him with Akshay after 14 fruitful years, recalling successes like ‘Hello’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’. Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films are producing this horror-comedy gem, starring Akshay with Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and fresh face Vaamika Gabbi.
The production trio—Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, Ekta R Kapoor—has crafted a film blending terror and laughter seamlessly. It arrives post-‘Housefull 5’, Tarun Mansukhani’s comedy that boasted Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sanjay Dutt, and a galaxy of stars but underwhelmed box offices before TV airings.
Meanwhile, Akshay and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Hawaana’ wraps production after 18 years apart, with stars teasing it on social media. ‘Bhoot Bangla’ now leads Akshay’s packed slate, its earlier drop a strategic move to capture early-year audiences. Get ready for haunted hilarity that could redefine the genre.
