The makers of Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and Wamiqa Gabbi, have officially announced a revised release date for the film. The decision comes in light of the phenomenal success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which has been performing exceptionally well at the box office.

In an official statement, the makers revealed that the move was made after careful discussions with distributors and exhibitors. The goal is to ensure that both films receive adequate attention and do not clash at the box office.

“After a collective call with our distributors and the exhibitors, we have decided on a new release date for Bhooth Bangla. April 16, with the first show starting at 9 PM.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge performing exceptionally well is heartening news for our film industry, and exhibitors feel that this shift will allow both films the space, focus, and attention they deserve.

The Bhooth Bangla team looks forward to welcoming you to cinemas on April 16th, 9 PM onwards. Paid previews begin in theaters on April 16, 2026.”

Interestingly, Bhoot Bangla will kick off with paid previews starting April 16, 2026, at 9 PM. This strategy is often used to generate early word-of-mouth and capitalize on audience excitement ahead of the full release rollout.

The decision reflects a collaborative spirit within the film industry. With Dhurandhar: The Revenge enjoying a strong run, this adjustment ensures that Bhoot Bangla enters theaters at a time when it can maximize its reach without being overshadowed.

Fans of Akshay Kumar are now eagerly awaiting the film’s release, while also celebrating the success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge making it a win-win moment for Bollywood.
