Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla Now Set for May 15 Release

Akshay Kumar's upcoming horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla, has a new release date. It will now hit theaters on May 15, 2026, moving up from its original date of April 2.

Balaji Motion Pictures announced the update on social media, saying, "Bangle se ek khabar aayi hai! The doors open on 15th May 2026. See you in cinemas." Sources indicate that the producers wanted to avoid competing directly with Dhurandhar 2, which is set to release on March 19, 2026.

The first movie in the Dhurandhar franchise was a massive success, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film in a single language. With high hopes for its sequel, the Bhooth Bangla team decided it would be better to give their film more space to attract family audiences.
