Kapoor also explained that the decision to shift the release was taken because of the strong box office run of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. “Dhurandhar: The Revenge performing exceptionally well is a heartening news for our film industry and the exhibitors feel that this shift will allow both films, the space, focus and attention they deserve.”

About Bhooth Bangla

Bhooth Bangla is now scheduled to release in theatres on April 17, with paid preview screenings scheduled for April 16. The film has seen multiple changes to its release plan. It was initially set to hit cinemas on April 2, but was later postponed to May 15, before being advanced again to April 10, 2026. The makers eventually pushed the release further to avoid a box office clash with Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The film has received a UA 16+ certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The horror comedy film is directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Akshay Kumar, Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu and Wamiqa Gabbi.
