Akshay Kumar's upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla has unveiled a brand-new poster ahead of its teaser launch. Set for a theatrical release in April 2026, the Bollywood star is gearing up to tease fans with the film's first official teaser dropping tomorrow.
Known for his signature blend of comedy and action, Akshay returns to the big screen with a horror-comedy directed by the legendary Priyadarshan. The reunion of this iconic duo - famous for cult favourites like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and Hungama - has sparked excitement across Bollywood circles.
Their last collaboration, Khatta Meetha, hit theatres in 2010, making this a comeback after 14 years.

'Bhooth Bangla' poster and announcement
The film was officially announced in September 2024 as a motion picture. The newly released motion poster captures the perfect spooky-comic vibe with a full moon, eerie bats, and a towering haunted mansion - Bhooth Bangla - looming in the background.
One quirky element stands out: a bat hanging upside down on a tree branch. Mirroring the moment, Akshay Kumar is also seen hanging upside down with his trademark grin, adding a playful twist to the spooky theme.
Sharing the poster on Instagram, Akshay captioned it humorously: "Just hangin' around till the #BhoothBanglaTeaser comes out tomorrow! ????#BhoothBangla in cinemas on 10th April 2026 ????"
