The wait is finally over as the makers have announced the release schedule for Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan. The film’s paid preview shows have been scheduled for April 16, with the first screening set to begin at 9 pm.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, producer Ektaa Kapoor confirmed the development. “After a collective call with our distributors and the exhibitors, we have decided on a new release date for Bhooth Bangla, April 16, with the first show starting at 9 pm.”
Kapoor also explained that the decision to shift the release was taken because of the strong box office run of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. “Dhurandhar: The Revenge performing exceptionally well is a heartening news for our film industry and the exhibitors feel that this shift will allow both films, the space, focus and attention they deserve.”
