Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla Release Date Shifted: What to Expect?

Release Date Change for Bhooth Bangla

Mumbai: The release date for the anticipated horror-comedy film Bhooth Bangla, featuring Akshay Kumar, has been officially postponed.

Ektaa Kapoor, one of the film's co-producers, announced the new release date on her Instagram, revealing that the film will now premiere on Thursday. This decision comes in light of the impressive box office performance of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh.

In her post, Ektaa Kapoor stated, “Following discussions with our distributors and exhibitors, we have set a new release date for Bhooth Bangla on April 16, with the first screening at 9 PM. The success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge is encouraging for our industry, and we believe this adjustment will give both films the attention they deserve. We eagerly await your presence in cinemas starting April 16 at 9 PM.”

Originally scheduled for April 10, Bhooth Bangla will now hit theaters on April 16, 2026.

The film features a talented cast, including Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, and Mithila Palkar. This project marks the much-anticipated reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan, who have previously collaborated on several beloved comedy films, raising audience expectations for this new venture.

Produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor, and directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla is set to be released in cinemas on April 16, 2026. With this date change, Dacoit, featuring Adivi Sesh, Anurag Kashyap, and Mrunal Thakur, will now have a solo release on April 10, 2026, produced by Supriya Yarlagadda.
