Akshay Kumar is back to tickle our funny bones and send shivers down the spines with his latest announcement. On his 57th birthday, the most beloved actor in the industry announced his upcoming Bhooth Bangla, which marked his comeback to the silver screen with the director Priyadarshan after 14 years.

There is palpable excitement, especially considering the unique blend of genres that this film promises to offer.
The first glimpse of Bhooth Bangla came from a motion poster Akshay shared on social media, where he is shown nonchalantly sipping milk with a black cat sitting on his shoulder teasing indication of the scary yet funny tone of the movie.

Let’s celebrate this year with the first look of Bhooth Bangla! I am super excited to team up again with Priyadarshan after 14 years. This dream coming together has been a long time coming. can’t wait to share this incredible journey with you all. Stay tuned for the magic!
