Akshay Kumar drops spooky motion poster of 'Bhoot Bangla'
New Delhi, February 24
Akshay Kumar on Tuesday dropped a striking first-look motion poster of his much-awaited horror-comedy 'Bhoot Bangla'.
Taking to Instagram on February 24, the actor shared an intriguing glimpse of his character, instantly sparking excitement among fans.
The motion poster presents Akshay in a dramatic 'tantrik-like' avatar, marking a distinct shift from his recent on-screen personas.
Seated shirtless on an eerie, intricately carved throne adorned with demonic faces, he sports black sunglasses and multiple strands of Rudraksha beads. Holding a rosary, the actor appears mid-scream, his mouth wide open, creating an intense yet theatrical visual that hints at the film's horror-comedy tone.
Accompanying the poster was a playful caption that read, "Dus ko denge das-tak, intezar karo tab tak... Let the fun begin!"
Akshay also confirmed that 'Bhoot Bangla' has been preponed. Originally slated to release on May 15, the film will now arrive in cinemas earlier, on April 10, 2026.
'Bhoot Bangla' also marks the much-awaited reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan after a gap of nearly 16 years.
The duo last collaborated on 'Khatta Meetha' in 2010.
The film boasts a massive ensemble cast featuring Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Wamiqa Gabbi, and veteran actor Asrani.
Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with Cape of Good Films, Bhoot Bangla is produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor.

The cast is insane! Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav... this is like a dream team for a comedy. Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar combo after 16 years guarantees laughter. Hope it's like their old classics - Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhag vibes! 🤞
Looks fun, but 2026? That's two years away! They're promoting it so early. By the time it releases, the excitement might fizzle out. Still, the poster is catchy. "Dus ko denge das-tak" – typical Akshay style dialogue.
The aesthetic is very interesting. The throne with demonic faces, the rudraksha beads – it's giving a very Indian brand of horror, which is refreshing. Hope the comedy doesn't overshadow the spooky elements. A good balance is key.
Respectfully, I hope the film relies on good writing and not just star power. Akshay's recent choices have been a bit hit-or-miss. But with Priyadarshan directing, there's a strong chance for a solid, entertaining film. Fingers crossed!
Asrani ji is also in it! 😍 This is going to be a total laughter riot. The preponement is good news – May is too crowded with exams anyway. April release during summer holidays is perfect for a family comedy. Good move!
