Directed by veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla marks his reunion with Akshay Kumar after more than a decade, their last major collaboration being Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Known for blending comedy with psychological thrills, Priyadarshan returns to the horror-comedy space with this haunted house tale, aiming to recreate the magic that once made audiences laugh and scream in equal measure. The new film is already being touted as one of 2026’s most anticipated Bollywood releases.
Bhooth Bangla (transl. Haunted House) features a strong ensemble cast including Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Wamiqa Gabbi alongside Akshay Kumar. The film is produced by Akshay Kumar in collaboration with Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, promising a big-scale entertainer that combines commercial appeal with comic timing and supernatural twists.
Interestingly, this project marks Priyadarshan’s second Hindi-language horror comedy after Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), and once again brings together familiar faces like Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Rajpal Yadav. That earlier cult favorite set a benchmark for horror-comedy in Bollywood, and expectations are high that Bhooth Bangla will deliver a fresh yet nostalgic cinematic experience for fans of the genre.
With its witty wordplay, spooky visuals, and a star-studded cast, Bhooth Bangla appears ready to balance chills with chuckles. Scheduled for release on April 10, 2026, the film is shaping up to be a major box-office attraction, especially for audiences craving a mix of supernatural chaos and classic Akshay Kumar-style comedy. If the promo is any indication, this haunted house will be packed with both ghosts and giggles.
