About Bhooth Bangla

Bhooth Bangla is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language horror-comedy directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Akshay Kumar, Ekta Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor. This film signifies the long-awaited collaboration between Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar after a 16-year hiatus, returning to the horror-comedy genre following Bhool Bhulaiyaa. In Bhooth Bangla, Akshay Kumar plays Arjun Acharya, who returns to India from London with his sister, Meera (Mithila Palkar). They inherit an ancestral home in Mangalpur, and despite warnings from the caretaker, Shantaram (Asrani), about its eerie past, Arjun intends to host his sister's wedding in the seemingly haunted 'Bhooth Bangla.'
