Akshay Kumar has started shooting for his upcoming film Bhooth Bangla, marking his fifth collaboration with director Priyadarshan. This horror-comedy is set to release in cinemas on April 2, 2026, and fans are eagerly awaiting the reunion of the two after 14 years.
In Bhooth Bangla, Akshay plays the role of a magician, with three female leads joining him in a plot filled with black magic and spooky events. The film is generating a lot of excitement, especially as their past collaborations, such as Hera Pheri and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, were massive hits.
Akshay Kumar Shares New Poster & Bhooth Bangla Release Date
Akshay took to Instagram to express his enthusiasm about the shoot, writing: “Beyond excited to be on set with my favourite @priyadarshandir as we begin the shoot of our horror comedy #BhoothBangla today. Yeh darr aur hasi ka double dose aapke liye ready hoga 2nd April, 2026 ko! Tab tak ke liye aapke best wishes chahiye 🙏.”
Fans were quick to flood the comments with messages of support. One fan wrote, “OG Khiladi is back, can’t wait for the long-awaited Akshay X Priyadarshan reunion 🔥🔥🔥” Another commented, “Director – Priyadarshan 💀🗿 (blockbuster for sure).”
Priyadarshan Said THIS On His Reunion With Akshay
Priyadarshan also shared his excitement about working with Akshay again. Earlier, he told PTI, “Every film I’ve made with him has been a super hit. People say that you are the reason Akshay (does comedy), but I don’t believe in all those things. What I did was exploit his sense of humour (on screen). We are working after 14 years and I hope things will work. It’s a challenge. We can’t match the expectations (of the audience) but I’m trying my best.”
Bhooth Bangla will blend black magic with comedy, a formula that Priyadarshan and Akshay have perfected in the past. Their 2007 hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa was a huge success and the expectations for this new project are high.
