EXCLUSIVE: Thrilling Reunion – Tabu Joins Akshay Kumar & Priyadarshan in Exciting New Bhooth Bangla Franchise!
Pinkvilla has broken the news that Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan are teaming up again after 13 years for the horror comedy “Bhooth Bangla.” Following this exciting update, it’s been revealed that Priyadarshan has brought on board the iconic comedic trio of Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani to join the cast. Akshay Kumar will also have Wamiqa Gabbi playing alongside him as his romantic interest, and more prominent names are expected to be announced soon.
In an exclusive development, Pinkvilla has learned that Tabu will be playing a pivotal role in “Bhooth Bangla.” A source close to the project mentioned that Tabu is thrilled to collaborate with Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after their 2000 film “Hera Pheri.” She was drawn to her character and the film’s script, which cleverly blends horror, comedy, and Indian mythology. The source also hinted that the film’s cast is continuing to grow with renowned talents from the Indian film industry.
“Bhooth Bangla,” slated as a major release for 2026, will feature an impressive ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani. Filming is currently underway, with completion anticipated by April 2025. Given its genre, the film will incorporate a significant amount of visual effects to offer a fresh cinematic experience.
Furthermore, there are talks among Ekta Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, and Priyadarshan about turning “Bhooth Bangla” into a distinctive horror-comedy franchise. This is reminiscent of their earlier success with the genre, starting with “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” in 2007. Notably, any continuation of the franchise will require Akshay Kumar’s involvement, either as the lead or with his approval, as per his contract. The plan is to release a new installment every two years. “Bhooth Bangla” is set to premiere on April 2, 2026. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
