Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited horror-comedy Bhoot Bangla is back in the news—and this time, it’s all about a surprise release date change. After multiple shifts, the makers have finally locked a new date, and fans won’t have to wait as long as they thought.
Bhoot Bangla Release Date Changed Again
Earlier, the film was expected to hit theatres in April 2026. Later, the release was pushed to May, leaving fans a little confused. But now, the makers have once again revised the plan—bringing the release forward instead of delaying it.
Now Releasing in April, Not May
Yes, you read that right. Bhoot Bangla will now release on April 10, 2026, instead of the previously announced May 15 date. The announcement was made via a 32-second spooky graphic video shared on social media, perfectly matching the film’s horror-comedy vibe.
The caption read:
“Bhoot Bangla countdown rewind. See you in theatres.”
Early Release, Bigger Buzz
With this new date, Bhoot Bangla arrives earlier than expected, adding excitement among fans who have been waiting nearly two years for the film to finally hit the big screen.
Akshay Kumar vs Salman Khan at the Box Office?
The timing also makes things interesting at the box office. Salman Khan’s Battle of Galwan is scheduled to release just a week after Bhoot Bangla. This sets the stage for a high-voltage clash between two Bollywood superstars, and it will be fascinating to see which film dominates audience attention.
Star-Cast & Trusted Director
Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhoot Bangla promises a perfect mix of scares and laughter. Alongside Akshay Kumar, the film features an impressive ensemble cast including Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles. With a fresh release date, a strong cast, and the classic Priyadarshan touch, Bhoot Bangla is shaping up to be one of 2026’s most entertaining theatrical releases.
