Akshay Kumar-Priyadarshan's Bhooth Bangla shifts to 2026
The duo of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan has given us many classic comedies as well as box office hits. The successful pair is now set to reunite with the upcoming horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla, which was announced a few months ago. The film was supposed to release in 2025 but has now been rescheduled for 2026.
Akshay Kumar made the official announcement of Bhooth Bangla's new release date for 2026. The horror saga will now be released in cinemas on April 2, 2026, which coincidentally marks the birthday of Ajay Devgn, with whom Akshay is set to collaborate for a new movie soon.

Akshay already has a big lineup for 2025 with Sky Force, an untitled flick on C. Sankara, and Housefull 5. Welcome 3 is also scheduled for a 2025 release, but it's likely to be postponed to 2026 given Khiladi Kumar's busy schedule.
