A Priyadarshan directorial, the horror-comedy promises a grand cinematic experience with a stellar cast, breathtaking VFX, and a musical treat by Pritam.
Akshay Kumar and Tabu are set to create magic on screen once again in Priyadarshan’s much-anticipated horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. The film, produced by Ekta Kapoor, marks the legendary director’s reunion with Akshay after 15 years, following their last collaboration in Khatta Meetha (2010). With an impressive ensemble cast, including Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, and Wamiqa Gabbi, the film is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of April 2026.
A Classical Spectacle in a Horror-Comedy
Sources close to the production have revealed that Akshay Kumar and Tabu have recently wrapped up shooting for a mesmerizing classical dance number in Hyderabad. Composed by the musical maestro Pritam, the song will feature Tabu like never before, showcasing her expertise in Indian classical dance alongside Akshay.
“The song plays a crucial role in the film’s narrative and is set to be a major highlight of Bhooth Bangla,” a source shared. “Tabu’s performance is expected to be one of the most talked-about aspects of the film.”
A Grand Cinematic Experience with Extensive VFX
While Bhooth Bangla is being touted as a horror-comedy, its supernatural elements draw inspiration from Indian mythology. To bring this vision to life, Priyadarshan is mounting the film on an enormous scale, with extensive VFX work planned to create a truly immersive experience.
“The horror and supernatural elements of Bhooth Bangla have been shot with meticulous detail, making it a visually stunning experience,” the source added. The film also brings back the iconic comic timing of Priyadarshan’s frequent collaborators, evoking nostalgia from cult classics like Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhag, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa.
A Musical Reunion of Legends
With Priyadarshan, Akshay Kumar, and Pritam at the helm, expectations are high, especially given their previous collaboration on Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), which delivered the timeless song Ami Je Tomar. With Bhooth Bangla, the trio is set to recreate the same magic, blending melody with mystery.
Beyond Bhooth Bangla: Akshay and Priyadarshan’s Next Big Project
Apart from Bhooth Bangla, the much-loved actor-director duo is also reuniting for Hera Pheri 3, the highly anticipated sequel to the cult classic. The film is scheduled to go on floors in December 2025 and is expected to release by the end of 2026, adding another exciting project to Akshay Kumar’s stellar lineup.
With a perfect mix of humor, horror, music, and high-end visual effects, Bhooth Bangla is shaping up to be a must-watch on the big screen. Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling cinematic spectacle!
