A date switcheroo in Bollywood: Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bhoot Bangla’ will now premiere on April 10, 2026, leaping ahead from May 15. Akshay dropped the bombshell on Instagram Saturday with a video that ignited fan frenzy, promising theater meetups sooner than expected.
The film revives the Akshay-Priyadarshan magic absent for 14 years, following blockbusters ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ and ‘Hello’. Under Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films, it features Akshay leading with co-stars Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Vaamika Gabbi in a horror-comedy rollercoaster.
Produced by Akshay, Shobha Kapoor, and Ekta R Kapoor, it’s timed perfectly post-‘Housefull 5’s’ theatrical stumble. That flick, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, packed Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Dino Morea, Sonam Bajwa, and legends like Nana Patekar and Jackie Shroff, yet headed to TV after modest returns.
Akshay’s slate heats up with ‘Hawaana’, pairing him with Saif Ali Khan after nearly two decades. Post-wrap photos have trended online. This rescheduling underscores ‘Bhoot Bangla’s’ momentum, setting the stage for a genre-bending hit. Cinema lovers, brace for an earlier dose of ghostly giggles.
