Bhooth Bangla is one of the most anticipated films of 2026 as it marks the much-awaited reunion of Bollywood OGs Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, who are collaborating after a long gap of 14 years.

Amplifying the excitement further, the makers unveiled the motion poster of the film starring Akshay Kumar.



The new Bhooth Bangla visual leans into an intense horror aesthetic, laced with full-on comedy! Akshay Kumar, back in his classic element, evokes nostalgia through his attire, rudraksha, signature laugh, and an eerie throne carved with demonic faces and horned details—signalling the film’s larger-than-life scale.

The buzz around the film is stronger than ever, largely because audiences are thrilled to see the legendary actor-director pair reunite. Their past collaborations delivered some unforgettable comedy classics, and with Bhooth Bangla, fans are expecting the same nostalgic madness and signature humour to return to the big screen.

About Bhooth Bangla

Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with Cape of Good Films present Bhooth Bangla starring Akshay Kumar, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, and Rajpal Yadav, Mithila Palkar and the late Asraniji.

If reports are to be believed, Bhooth Bangla revolves around a mysterious haunted house and the chaos surrounding it. Certain sections of the movie were shot across Rajasthan, Jaipur, and Hyderabad.

Recently, during an episode of Wheel of Fortune, Akshay Kumar revealed that Mithila won't be seen playing the role of a ghost, but will play his sister in the upcoming film. 

It is directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor. The story has been written by Akash A Kaushik, and the screenplay by Rohan Shankar, Abilash Nair, and Priyadarshan. Rohan Shankar has penned the dialogues.

The film, which was previously slated to hit the theatres on May 15, 2026, has now been preponed and will arrive in the cinema halls on April 10, 2026. The decision to change the release date has been taken keeping in view Akshay’s packed theatrical lineup and the audience engagement.
