In a startling turn of events on the sets of his highly anticipated horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla, Akshay Kumar reportedly suffered an injury after losing his balance during an intense sequence.
Akshay Kumar is currently promoting his upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, which is set to release on April 16, 2026. While the hype around the movie keeps building up, the makers have shared a 'behind-the-scenes' moment, further leveling up the stakes.
In the video, Akshay Kumar is seen performing a stunt for an intense high-octane action scene. Often referred to as Bollywood's 'Khiladi' who loves to perform his own stunts even at 58, Akshay is seen getting injured as he loses balance. He was attempting a jump kick, but because of an imbalance mid-air, he fell down, resulting in an injury. However, details about its severity have not been officially disclosed.

Moments like these give a detailed look into what actually goes on behind these thrilling action sequences. Akshay Kumar has recently opposed the growing reliance on VFX and AI in modern cinema. According to the actor, digital enhancements feel 'fake,' whereas real-life stunts offer authenticity to the audience that defines the cinematic experience.
Bhooth Bangla
The hype around Bhooth Bangla is massive, primarily because it marks the 14-year-long reunion of the iconic comic duo Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. Fans of the 'OG' comedy movies like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, De Dana Dan, and also the blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyya would know how Bhooth Bangla is not just a movie but nostalgia coming back into reality.
The Bhooth Bangla cast also struck a chord among fans, as it brought back the comedy dream team of Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Manoj Joshi. Moreover, the movie is also set to feature Asrani in his last role before passing away in 2025. Tabu also joins back alongside Akshay Kumar after about 25 years. The two were last seen together in Hera Pheri in 2000.
