Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar combo after 14 years! That's the real news for me. Their old comedies are legendary. Hope this brings back that magic. Mithila is a good addition to the cast.

While it's a nice story, I hope the film's success isn't just reliant on nostalgia. The industry needs fresh scripts too, not just old team reunions. That said, the cast looks fantastic.

Bhai, Akshay Kumar as a ghost? With Priyadarshan directing? This is giving me major Hera Pheri / Bhool Bhulaiyaa vibes. Already booked tickets for the first day. Mithila is a bonus!

Mithila's humility is so refreshing. In an industry of cut-throat competition, her gratitude shines through. More power to her! Also, Kalyani's reply was so sweet and modest. ❤️
