Bhooth Bangla is among the most anticipated horror comedies of the year and audiences are eagerly awaiting its release. The film marks the reunion of director Priyadarshan and actor Akshay Kumar after 14 years. The excitement has only grown since the release of the first poster, followed by an intriguing motion poster that further amplified the already growing buzz around the film. Now, after a long wait, the film finally has a release date.
Doors open on May 15, 2026.
The horror comedy will hit theaters on May 15 this year.
The film features a stellar cast with icons like Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, Asrani and Wamiqa Gabbi. Portions of the film have also been shot in Rajasthan, Jaipur and Hyderabad, adding a rich visual texture to the narrative.
The makers released the first poster last year which showed Akshay Kumar’s character sitting on the doorstep of a bungalow with a flashlight in his hand. A second character poster shows him with a smile on his face as he licks milk from a bowl, and we see a black cat on his shoulders.
