Akshay Kumar's 'Bhoot Bangla' Release Delayed to Avoid Clash with 'Dhurandhar 2'

Akshay Kumar has changed the release date of his horror-comedy film ‘Bhoot Bangla’ to avoid a clash with the release of 'Dhurandhar 2'. The new release date for the film, directed by Priyadarshan, has been revealed.

Following the immense success of the film 'Dhurandhar' and the release date of its second part, 'Dhurandhar 2', set for March 19, several filmmakers have altered their release schedules. In this context, news of a delay in Akshay Kumar's film 'Bhoot Bangla' recently surfaced. Now, the makers have provided confirmation and an official update regarding this matter.

Makers Announce New Release Date

The producers of the film have announced the new release date for 'Bhoot Bangla' by sharing a post on social media. The film will now be released in cinemas on May 15, 2026. Previously, the film was scheduled for release on April 2, 2026.

Given the blockbuster earnings of 'Dhurandhar' at the box office, similar expectations are held for 'Dhurandhar 2', which is set to release on March 19, anticipating it will hold strong at the box office for several weeks. In such a scenario, it is reasonable for the makers to expect their film to receive adequate screen space and theatre availability post-release.

Filming Took Place in Various Locations

The film has been shot at various locations according to the needs of its story and director Priyadarshan's specific treatment. The film has been shot in beautiful locations including Jaipur and Hyderabad to make it visually rich. These locations will further elevate the horror-comedy experience of the film, for which Priyadarshan is known.
