Akshay Kumar reveals Mithila Palkar portrays his sister in 'Bhoot Bangla'
Mumbai, Feb 19
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and actress Mithila Palkar, who are set to share the screen in the upcoming film 'Bhoot Bangla', reunited on the sets of the reality game show, 'Wheel of Fortune'.
During the episode, the Bollywood superstar revealed that the actress will be seen essaying the role of his sister in the upcoming film. Akshay Kumar gave a warm welcome to Mithila Palkar on the set, as he introduced her to the audience.
He said, "Mithila started her journey from the internet and is working in many films now. And soon, she will be seen with an actor who is very well known to me, guess who, me".
Officially speaking about their collaboration, Akshay shared, "In 'Bhoot Bangla', Mithila will be seen playing the role not of the 'bhoot', but of my sister".
While Akshay shared details about Mithila's onscreen character, the young actress was also quick to share fun behind-the-scenes moments from the set. She said, "I've come on the show to recover and repay all the money I lost to you (Akshay) during the course of shooting for 'Bhoot Bangla'".
Continuing their fun banter, Akshay quipped, "You better win and repay me for all the games you lost on set, otherwise this time we will play Judo, not Ludo".
Both Akshay and Mithila were seen in high spirits as they reminisced about shooting together for 'Bhoot Bangla' and playing brother-sister onscreen for the first time.
Akshay was last seen onscreen in 2025 in the comedy drama, 'Jolly LLB 3', while Mithila's last release was Aamir Khan Productions' 'Happy Patel' alongside Vir Das.
'Bhoot Bangla' is set to release on April 10, 2026 in cinemas.

Akshay Kumar's comic timing is legendary. Pairing him with a young actress like Mithila for a brother-sister duo in a horror-comedy is a brilliant move. Hope the script is as good as the casting.
Interesting to see the cross-generational pairing. Mithila has a very relatable screen presence. The banter about losing money in games sounds like they had a great time filming.
Respectfully, I hope the film relies on more than just star power. Recent Bollywood horror-comedies have been quite formulaic. Fingers crossed for a good story that does justice to both actors.
Bhoot Bangla releasing April 10, 2026... that's quite a wait yaar! But Akshay's films are usually worth it. The title reminds me of the old Ramsay brothers' movies. Nostalgic!
Love seeing how supportive Akshay is of newer talent. His comment about her starting from the internet and now working in films is so encouraging for all digital creators.
