Mumbai’s entertainment scene is buzzing with excitement as Akshay Kumar unveils a chilling new motion poster for his upcoming horror-comedy ‘Bhoot Bangla’. The film marks a thrilling reunion with director Priyadarshan after 16 years, following their blockbuster successes in ‘Hera Pheri’ and ‘Bhagam Bhag’ that continue to delight audiences.
The poster showcases Akshay in a never-before-seen avatar, perched menacingly on a throne adorned with ghostly skulls. Draped in a traditional dhoti, he sports dark sunglasses, multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and wrists, and is captured mid-chant with a mala in hand, embodying a powerful tantric sorcerer. The foggy, dimly lit background amplifies the eerie suspense, perfectly blending horror with the promise of comedy.
Akshay shared the poster on Instagram with a cryptic caption: ‘Dus ko denge dastak, intezar karo tab tak. Masti shuru hone do.’ Translating to a playful warning of a knock on the 10th and to wait for the fun to begin, it has sent fans into a frenzy. ‘Bhoot Bangla’ is slated for release on April 10, building unprecedented anticipation.
Fans flooded the comments with enthusiasm. One wrote, ‘Finally, a Bhool Bhulaiyaa-style comedy is back!’ Another started a countdown: ‘Counting down to release day.’ Many praised the ‘dangerous’ and ‘totally different’ look, hailing the Akshay-Priyadarshan duo’s return as a cinematic treat. This project is poised to dominate box offices with its unique mix of scares and laughs.
