Akshay Kumar’s much awaited horror comedy Bhooth Bangla has officially received a new release date. The film, which was earlier slated to hit theatres in early April 2026, will now release on May 15, 2026, giving it a clearer box office window.

The decision to postpone the release has reportedly been taken to avoid a crowded release period and allow the film more breathing space at the box office. The makers are confident that the new date will help Bhooth Bangla reach a wider audience without major competition.

Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla marks a popular reunion between the filmmaker and Akshay Kumar, a duo known for delivering memorable entertainers. The film also features an ensemble cast including Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jisshu Sengupta, and Asrani, adding to the excitement around the project.

While the storyline is being kept under wraps, the film promises a mix of spooky elements and comedy, staying true to its genre. Fans are particularly excited to see Akshay return to the horror comedy space, a genre he has successfully explored in the past.

With its new release date locked, Bhooth Bangla continues to be one of the most anticipated films of 2026, raising expectations for a fun filled theatrical experience.
