‘Bhooth Bangla’ : Akshay Kumar Unveils Release Date For Upcoming Horror-Comedy Film

December 10, 2024: Akshay Kumar has officially announced the release date for his much-awaited horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, which is set to hit theaters on April 2, 2026. The announcement has already sparked excitement among fans, especially with the added news that this film marks his reunion with veteran director Priyadarshan after 14 years. The duo, who have worked together on several iconic comedies such as Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, are expected to bring their signature blend of humor and entertainment to this spooky, yet comedic tale.

In his Instagram post, Akshay shared his enthusiasm about the project, writing, “Beyond excited to be on set with my favourite @priyadarshan.official as we begin the shoot of our horror comedy #BhoothBangla today. Yeh darr aur hasi ka double dose aapke liye ready hoga 2nd April, 2026 ko!

The excitement is palpable, with fans reminiscing about their successful past collaborations and eagerly awaiting what the duo will deliver next.

The film’s motion poster, which Akshay Kumar shared alongside the release date, further intrigued fans. It features a quirky image of him drinking milk while a black cat perches on his shoulder—an intriguing symbol that captures the whimsical, spooky theme of the film.
