After more than ten years, Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan will collaborate again for Ekta Kapoor’s horror-comedy film Bhooth Bangla. The movie started production in 2024 and is now nearing completion. Insiders claim that Akshay Kumar is scheduled to finish shooting for Bhooth Bangla on May 15, with an extended shoot in Hyderabad. “By wrapping up on May 15, Akshay will bring a close to his 85-day stint with Bhooth Bangla. This project required more time from Akshay than usual, and he has been dedicated to meeting the filming schedule’s deadlines,” said a source.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m excited to share some insights about an upcoming movie titled “Bhooth Bangla.” This film has been meticulously shot across various locations in the UK and India, specifically London, Jaipur, Kochi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. This production is a unique blend of horror and comedy, drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of Indian Mythology.

The creators have spared no effort, shooting both indoors and outdoors to deliver a truly immersive cinematic experience when it hits the big screen on April 2, 2026. The esteemed director, Priyadarshan, has assembled an impressive cast that includes Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani, among others. So mark your calendars for a cinematic journey that promises to be unforgettable!

Akshay is planning to finish the remaining scenes for “Welcome To The Jungle” in June, after which he’ll take a vacation with his family in July. The specific dates are yet to be confirmed, but it’s currently set on paper for June. More details will be available by the end of May, as many factors need to align first.

Akshay will start another unnamed thriller movie, directed by Priyadarshan, in August. This movie will have him facing off against Saif Ali Khan, and it’s planned for release in 2026. As per the source, Akshay has three upcoming films with Priyadarshan – Bhooth Bangla, an unnamed thriller, and Hera Pheri 3, which is set to begin production in 2026.
