Akshay Kumar’s Bhoot Bangla Preponed to April 10
Mumbai: Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is set to return to cinemas with a bang as his much-anticipated horror-comedy Bhoot Bangla has officially advanced its theatrical release date. Originally scheduled to hit screens on May 15, 2026, the film will now arrive a month earlier on April 10, 2026, much to the delight of fans and trade analysts alike. The decision to prepone the release is being viewed as a well-calculated strategic move by the makers to secure a stronger theatrical window and capitalize on heightened audience interest. With fewer competing releases expected during the period, Bhoot Bangla is poised to enjoy better visibility and box-office traction upon its release. Directed by veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan, the film marks another exciting collaboration that promises to bring Akshay Kumar back in his much-loved entertainer avatar. Known for his impeccable comic timing and mass appeal, the actor is expected to strike a fine balance between humor, suspense, and mystery—elements that define the horror-comedy genre. Adding considerable strength to the project is its impressive ensemble cast, featuring Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, and Rajpal Yadav. The presence of seasoned performers alongside emerging talent has further heightened expectations, with audiences anticipating a rich blend of performance-driven comedy and engaging storytelling. Bhoot Bangla is presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd., in association with Cape of Good Films. The collaboration between these established production banners signals a project mounted on a strong creative and commercial foundation. Industry insiders believe the film’s genre, combined with Akshay Kumar’s star power and Priyadarshan’s directorial expertise, positions Bhoot Bangla as a potential crowd-puller across urban and mass circuits. Horror-comedies have historically performed well at the Indian box office, especially when backed by recognizable faces and engaging narratives. As anticipation builds, Bhoot Bangla is shaping up to deliver a perfect mix of laughter and chills, offering audiences a wholesome theatrical experience. With its new release date locked in, all eyes are now on April 10, 2026, when the film is expected to create a significant buzz across cinema halls nationwide.
