“Year after year, I appreciate your devotion on my birthday! Enjoying this year’s celebration with Bhooth Bangla’s debut! After 14 years, I can’t wait to work with Priyadarshan once again. It has taken a long time to realize this dream partnership, and I am so excited to share this amazing experience with all of you. In his message, he added, “Watch this space for the magic.”
Fans will find this reunion particularly meaningful since Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan have previously collaborated on a number of successful movies, including classic comedies like “Hera Pheri,” “Garam Masala,” “Bhagam Bhag,” and “Bhool Bhulaiyaa.”
Their partnership has long been renowned for its distinctive mix of humor and entertainment, and “Bhooth Bangla” is anticipated to continue this profitable trend.
Along with revealing the movie’s release date, Akshay Kumar also presented the motion poster, which depicts him sipping milk with a black cat perched on his shoulder. This picture encapsulates the film’s oddball, eerie vibe.
In the comments section, fans have shared their joy, with many praising the nostalgic return of the “magical duo” of Akshay and Priyadarshan.
A supporter said, “The magical duo is back, collaborating after 14 years for the 7th time Ak X Priyadarshan.” Someone another said, “Legendary Reunion.”
‘Bhooth Bangla’ has already generated a lot of excitement among moviegoers who are looking forward to its distinct blend of humor and horror.
Ektaa R Kapoor is producing the movie under the auspices of Balaji Telefilms Ltd. Fans are anticipating what seems to be an exciting and humorous cinematic voyage, even if the premiere is still more than two years away.
The movie is anticipated to begin production shortly, and in the next months, information on the cast and other aspects will probably be made public.
With a number of noteworthy ventures that have kept him in the spotlight, Akshay Kumar has had a busy year. Released on August 15, 2024, ‘Stree 2’ was a huge hit, and he made a special appearance.
‘Khel Khel Mein’, a comedy-drama directed by Mudassar Aziz, featured him among a superb ensemble cast that included Fardeen Khan, Vaani Kapoor, Ammy Virk, and Aditya Seal.
In addition, Akshay Kumar most recently starred in Rohit Shetty’s police drama “Singham Again.” Deepika Padukone, Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor, and Tiger Shroff were among the film’s star-studded cast members.
