Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are teaming up again for Bhooth Bangla, due in cinemas on 10th April 2026. The film’s latest motion poster, revealed by the makers, mixes horror style visuals with broad comedy, and has pushed fan curiosity even higher.
This project ends a 14-year pause for the popular actor-director pair, whose earlier films became big comedy hits. Viewers who grew up watching those titles are keen to see if Bhooth Bangla brings back the same chaotic humour and nostalgic energy to theatres across India.
Bhooth Bangla motion poster and horror-comedy style
The new Bhooth Bangla poster shows Akshay Kumar in a throwback avatar, echoing characters from earlier comedies. The look includes a rudraksha, a familiar laugh, and a dark throne carved with demonic faces and horns, hinting at a larger-than-life horror-comedy setting.
The film leans strongly on a horror mood but keeps the tone playful, promising jump scares alongside jokes. This visual blend aims to set Bhooth Bangla apart from straight horror and pure slapstick, while keeping Akshay Kumar’s trademark screen presence at the centre of the story.
