Ever since Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan reunion news has been out, fans eagerly await for any update on it. And this latest release date announcement for ‘Bhooth Bangla’ has given fans a countdown that currently seems far but is surely hot with anticipations.
Coming together after 14 years, Akshay Kumar has begun shooting for horror comedy ‘Bhooth Bangla’ today and the film is scheduled for theatrical release on 2nd April, 2026. Their last collaboration ’Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ also belonged to the same genre and was a massive blockbuster that is celebrated till date.
Both Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar are masters in their craft and every time they come together they create magic. This is conspicuous from their films credits together which includes ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Garam Masala’, and ‘Bhagam Bhag’.
A similar kind of magic is expected once again from the duo in ‘Bhooth Bangla’ whose latest poster shows Akshay Kumar sitting atop a pillar of an iron gate with a lantern in his hands and dressed in a fusion attire where upper half is in a formal western outfit and the lower half is in a dhoti.
‘Bhooth Bangla’ has a story by Akash Kaushik with a screenplay from Rohan Shankar, Abhilash Nair and Priyadarshan. The plot and cast details remain under wrap for now. The film is produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobhaa Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor with Faara Sheikh and Vedant Vikaas Baali serving as co-producers. Presented by Balaji Telefilms Limited in association with Cape of Good Films, ‘Bhooth Bangla’ will arrive on the big screens on 2nd April, 2026.
