Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are officially switching on the promotion engines for their long-awaited reunion, and the first big beat is now in place. Their horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla is gearing up for a full-scale rollout, with the makers planning a teaser drop that is designed for maximum big-screen impact, not just social media noise.
With the film’s theatrical release date already set for April 10, 2026, the marketing calendar is now taking shape, signalling that the team is confident about the film’s tone and theatrical appeal.
Bhooth Bangla Teaser Set For March 12, 2026
Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that the teaser of Bhooth Bangla will release on March 12, 2026. The plan, as per the update, is to ensure a prominent theatrical launch that can ignite early buzz and tap into the audience’s appetite for the Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan brand of entertainment.
The same report also stated earlier that the trailer cut is locked and that the digital trailer release is planned for the second week of March, with dates being lined up between March 9 and March 18. The idea is to spark strong online chatter first, followed by a sustained push in theatres.
Bhooth Bangla is led by Akshay Kumar and features an ensemble that leans into Priyadarshan’s comfort zone of character-driven comedy. The cast includes Paresh Rawal, Asrani, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, Mithila Palkar and Wamiqa Gabbi. Music is composed by Pritam, and the film’s first single Ram Ji Aake Bhala Karenge has already been unveiled, adding to the early recall around the project.
The film is slated to release in cinemas on April 10, 2026.
What We Know About Bhooth Bangla So Far
Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla is positioned as a horror-comedy and marks his return to a space where he has historically blended humour with a strong supporting cast. The film brings Akshay back into that familiar comic rhythm, while also promising “spooky twists” through its genre setup. With Pritam on the music, the team is clearly aiming for a commercial theatrical package with songs playing a key role in the campaign.
