Akshay Kumar

We saw and loved Akshaye Khanna in ‘Dhurandhar' (2025). Now, it looks like we'll get a dose of another Akshay in ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge'. Before rumours emerge about Akshay Kumar's cameo in the action drama, let us set the record straight. mid-day has exclusively learnt that a promotional song of Kumar's ‘Bhooth Bangla' will be attached to the March 19 release, thus serving as the first look of filmmaker Priyadarshan's upcoming horror comedy.

Usually, movie trailers are attached to films playing in cinemas. But from what we've heard, ‘Bhooth Bangla' producer Ektaa R Kapoor felt that releasing the track instead of a dialogue promo would instantly grab attention. A source shared, "Akshay and Priyadarshan's 2007 horror comedy ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa' benefited immensely from its title song, ‘Teri Aankhein Bhool Bhulaiyaa', which became wildly popular. So, this time, with Pritam having composed another song that has the potential to become a chartbuster, Ektaa felt it would catch on among listeners and create buzz around ‘Bhooth Bangla'. Attaching it to ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge' made sense as it's among the most awaited films."

Also starring Tabu and Wamiqa Gabbi, ‘Bhooth Bangla' is a fantasy horror comedy that reportedly explores black magic. The source added, "The song was filmed on a grand scale with Akshay and over 100 background dancers. Given the film's theme, a set of a spooky mansion was built."
