Bhooth Bangla is among the most anticipated horror comedies of the year, with audiences 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 launch of the first poster, followed by an intriguing motion poster that further amplified the already soaring buzz around the film. Now, after a long wait, the film finally has its release date.
The doors open on 15th May 2026
The horror-comedy is set to hit cinema halls on May 15th this year.
The film features a stellar ensemble cast with icons like Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, Asrani, and Wamiqa Gabbi. Parts of the film have also been shot across Rajasthan, Jaipur, and Hyderabad, adding rich visual texture to the narrative.
The makers had released the first poster last year that showed Akshay Kumar’s character sitting on the gate of a bungalow with a lantern in his hand. A second character poster showed him with a grin on his face as he licks milk from a bowl, and we see a black cat on his shoulders.
