Akshay Kumar–Tabu Horror-Comedy ‘Bhooth Bangla’ Sets May 15, 2026 Theatrical Release

The date change aims to avoid box-office clashes with major titles.

Overview

  • Balaji Motion Pictures announced the new release date with a poster, confirming the film will open in cinemas on May 15, 2026.
  • Coverage states the film has been postponed from April 2 to steer clear of Dhurandhar 2 and also to avoid overlapping with Yash’s Toxic.

  • Bhooth Bangla is produced by Balaji Telefilms with Cape of Good Films, with Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor as producers and Faara Sheikh and Vedant Baali as co-producers.
  • Priyadarshan said the late Asrani appears in the film in one of his final roles, and reporting describes the narrative as spanning multiple eras with folklore, supernatural elements, and slapstick.
