The upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan, is all set for a theatrical release on April 10, 2026. The film has generated significant buzz, especially as it marks the much-anticipated reunion of the actor-director duo. The film already faced postponements before, and now a report suggested that Bhooth Bangla might get postponed again due to Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

Will Bhooth Bangla get postponed?

As per Bollywood Hungama, with Dhurandhar: The Revenge holding strong at the box office, the team of Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan, is reconsidering its April 10 release and may delay it by a week to avoid a clash.

The source shared, “The way Dhurandhar The Revenge is performing, it is clear that the craze is not going to die down anytime soon. Bhooth Bangla also looks like an exciting film. But since Dhurandhar 2 is doing historic business, there’s a strong possibility that it could perform exceptionally well even in its fourth week, which coincides with the release of Bhooth Bangla. Meanwhile, there’s no Hindi film currently scheduled for release on April 17.”

The source further said that although 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' is currently doing good business, it is expected to exhaust most of its box office potential within four weeks. This could benefit Bhooth Bangla if it releases on April 10, as a large portion of the audience would have already watched the Ranveer Singh-starrer. The source further said that lead actor-producer Akshay Kumar and producer Ekta Kapoor are closely monitoring the situation and are likely to make a final decision within the next 24 hours.

The source continued, “If Bhooth Bangla arrives on April 10, the makers plan to release the much-awaited theatrical trailer on Friday, March 27. In case the film is pushed, the trailer will be dropped later. All eyes of the industry and trade are on Akshay and Ekta and let’s see what they decide.”
