Akshay Kumar fans will have to wait a little longer to see him back with director Priyadarshan. The release of their highly anticipated film Bhooth Bangla has been pushed back by a week. Originally set to hit screens on April 10, the horror-comedy will now arrive in cinemas on April 16. This big decision comes as Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 continues to shatter records at the box office.
Dhurandhar 2 Box Office Magic Forces Change
The main reason behind this delay is the massive success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The Ranveer Singh starrer has become a global phenomenon, crossing the incredible 1300 crore mark. Since its release on March 19, the movie has shown no signs of slowing down. Producers and distributors felt that releasing Bhooth Bangla right now might hurt both films. By moving the date, they want to ensure Akshay’s film gets the full attention of the audience without being overshadowed by the current blockbuster.
A Massive Reunion For Comedy Lovers
Bhooth Bangla is a special project because it reunites Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after 14 years. This duo is famous for cult classics like Hera Pheri and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Fans are excited to see them bring back that same magic in the horror-comedy genre. Producer Ekta Kapoor shared that the first show will now start at 9 pm on April 16. The film also stars talented actors like Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, and Rajpal Yadav, making it one of the biggest releases of the season.
