Shikhar Dhawan on a film set? That's a fun crossover! Good to see our stars having some light moments. The song is catchy too, feels like old-school Akshay is back.
Honestly, while this BTS is fun, I hope the movie has a solid script. Priyadarshan's recent comedies haven't been great. Hoping this reunion brings back the magic of Hera Pheri days!
The cast is incredible! Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav... such a powerhouse. The behind-the-scenes vibe looks amazing. This is the kind of content we need more of!
Khiladi indeed! Cricket on set is such an Indian thing to do. Makes the stars feel more relatable. Hope the film is as fun as this video.
After 14 years! That's a long gap. Their comedy timing was legendary. Fingers crossed this horror-comedy works. The title 'Bhooth Bangla' sounds promising for a Priyadarshan film.
