Akshay Kumar has surprised fans with the new release date of his upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. The film was earlier slated to release on May 15, 2026, but now it will hit cinemas a month before, the makers confirmed on Saturday.
New release date
The new release date, which is April 10, was revealed through a social media post along with a quirky video. Shared by Balaji Motion Pictures, the clip showcased a black cat scratching off May 15 from a calendar, then playfully licking milk spilled over April 10.
Akshay Kuma also took to his Instagram to share the update. "Bhooth Bangla ka countdown rewind! 15 May X 10 April. Milte hain theatres mein," he wrote. With this announcement, it is the second change in the film’s release schedule. Bhooth Bangla was initially set to release on April 2 before being pushed to May 15, and has now been preponed to April 10.
Speaking about the change in release date, the makers reportedly stated that the decision was taken to tap into a more favourable theatrical window and avoid box-office clash.
