Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are all set to reunite after 14 years for Bhooth Bangla. While the film is anticipated, makers had earlier revealed that the film has locked May release. Now, there is a change in the release date and the film will now hit the screens in April. With the shift in its release date, the makers aim to tap into a favourable theatrical window while avoiding box office congestion.
Bhooth Bangla locks April release
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.
Bhooth Bangla, which has been generating steady buzz since its announcement, is expected to showcase Akshay Kumar in a genre-driven entertainer. With Akshay and Priyadarshan reuniting, the film is expected to recreate the cinematic magic movie buffs are used to from them. The beloved actor and director duo previously collaborated for memorable hits like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Garam Masala, and Khatta Meetha.
