Akshay Kumar's highly anticipated horror-comedy 'Bhooth Bangla' has unveiled a striking new poster, building excitement as its teaser is set to drop tomorrow, March 12, 2026. Directed by Priyadarshan, the film reunites the duo after 14 years since their last collaboration, promising a blend of scares and slapstick humor in a haunted mansion setting.
The poster features Akshay in a quirky, ghostly encounter amid eerie visuals, joined by co-stars Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajpal Yadav, and others like Asrani and Manoj Joshi. This ensemble evokes nostalgia from Priyadarshan's earlier hit 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa', with 'Bhooth Bangla' positioned as a fresh take on the genre, incorporating scientific twists rather than pure supernatural tropes.
Production wrapped principal shooting across Rajasthan, Jaipur, and Hyderabad, under banners like Cape of Good Films and Balaji Telefilms. Initially slated for April 2026, the release shifted to May 15 to avoid clashing with 'Dhurandhar 2', allowing ample post-production polish ahead of its theatrical rollout.

Fans have flooded social media with reactions to the poster's release, speculating on Akshay's comic timing in a role tailored to revive his horror-comedy legacy post-'Bhool Bhulaiyaa'. The teaser drop aligns with heightened marketing, teasing plot elements around a mysterious bungalow without revealing major spoilers.
'Bhooth Bangla' arrives amid Akshay's packed 2026 slate, capitalizing on the genre's resurgence with films like 'Stree 2'. Priyadarshan's signature style—rapid-fire dialogues by Rohan Shankar and chaotic ensemble antics—positions it as a potential summer blockbuster.
The announcement underscores Bollywood's strategy of staggered reveals to sustain buzz, with full trailer and songs expected soon. As Akshay promotes fitness and action flicks, this venture reaffirms his versatility in family entertainers.
