Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla Preponed: Priyadarshan Comedy Now Releasing on April 10, 2026
Balaji Motion Pictures has officially announced a new release date for the much-anticipated Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar. Originally slated for May 15, 2026, the film’s release has been advanced to April 10, 2026. This earlier theatrical window provides the film with more space amid a crowded release calendar.
The decision to move the release up is seen as a strategic effort to avoid box office congestion, especially given Akshay Kumar’s packed schedule of 2026 theatrical releases. Industry insiders believe this will allow Bhooth Bangla a more focused run in cinemas, maximizing audience engagement and extending its theatrical longevity.
Since its announcement, Bhooth Bangla has generated buzz due to its unique blend of genres and the creative team behind it. The film marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar with director Priyadarshan, a duo known for delivering popular comedy hits. While plot details remain under wraps, the movie promises to combine Priyadarshan’s signature humour with elements of horror.
The star-studded cast further elevates the film’s appeal. Alongside Akshay Kumar, the film features Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, and Rajpal Yadav. Of particular interest is the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Tabu on screen after 26 years, their last collaboration being the cult classic Hera Pheri (2000), a fact eagerly celebrated by fans of Hindi cinema.
