Mumbai, February 7, 2026: In an exciting update for Bollywood fans, the makers of the much-anticipated horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla have advanced the film’s theatrical release to April 10, 2026. Starring Akshay Kumar in the lead, the film marks the reunion of the actor with director Priyadarshan after their successful 2007 collaboration on the blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

The movie, produced by Ektaa R Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor under Balaji Motion Pictures, and Akshay Kumar’s Cape of Good Films, features a stellar ensemble cast including Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani. The story revolves around a haunted bungalow setting, blending spine-chilling thrills with Priyadarshan’s signature comedic flair.

The release date shift comes after earlier announcements had the film slated for April 2, 2026, before a postponement to May 15, 2026, reportedly to avoid potential box-office clashes. However, the team has now preponed it back to April 10, positioning it strategically to capitalize on the summer season buzz without major conflicts.

Akshay Kumar himself confirmed the new date through a quirky social media post featuring a fun video where a cat “licks milk” off the calendar to reveal “April 10.” Captioning it with a countdown rewind from May 15 to April 10, the actor hinted at building momentum for the project.

Producer Ektaa R Kapoor added to the excitement with a cryptic message on social media: “Wait only till the 10th!” — widely interpreted as a tease for major reveals, possibly the first trailer, motion poster, or promotional content dropping by February 10, 2026.

This development signals Akshay Kumar’s strong return to the comedy genre after a hiatus from full-fledged laugh riots on screen. Fans have been eagerly awaiting promotions for Bhooth Bangla, given the proven track record of the Akshay-Priyadarshan duo, who have delivered multiple hits in the past with their blend of humor and entertainment.

Industry analysts note that the advanced date allows the film to build early hype and avoid overlapping with other big releases later in the year. With shooting wrapped and post-production underway, expectations are high for this spooky yet hilarious haunted house adventure.

Stay tuned for more updates as the team gears up for what promises to be one of the biggest entertainers of 2026. Bhooth Bangla is all set to hit cinemas on April 10, 2026!
