According to sources from Hindustan Times, “The first film, a comedy, will go on floors in January 2027. Akshay has also come on board as the leading man for Bhoot Police 2, also being directed by Priyadarshan. The team is on the lookout for the second male lead, who will join Akshay in it. Talks for both films had been on for the past two months, and it’s only recently that all details have been finalised.”

Meanwhile, Bhooth Bangla, which reunited the actor-director duo of Akshay Kumar and Priyadharshan after more than a decade, has turned out to be a commercial success. It has earned over Rs 181.24 crore to rank the sixth highest-grossing Indian film of 2026 as well as the third highest-grossing Hindi film of 2026.

Bhooth Bangla, which was released on April 17, was initially scheduled to hit theatres a week earlier but saw a last-minute delay. This film, backed by Balaji Motion Pictures in association with Cape of Good Films, is produced by Akshay Kumar along with Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor. Besides starring Akshay Kumar as the lead, the film also features a promising cast including Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Mithila Palkar, Rajpal Yadav, and Jisshu Sengupta.
