The iconic actor-director duo, Akshay Kumar and PriyadarshanHe is all set to entertain the audience with the horror comedy ‘Bhooth Bangla’ releasing on 10th April 2026. The film, featuring a talented ensemble cast, revolves around the story of Vadhusur, a demon who disrupts marriages in a village.In a recent interview with ETimes, both Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar were very confident about the film, describing it as a wholesome family entertainer. During the interaction, the pair also participated in a fun guessing game where they had to identify characters from their popular movies based on the descriptions provided. The characters included Manjulika from ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, and Raju and Baburao from ‘Hera Pheri’.They were then asked an interesting hypothetical: if these three characters were locked inside ‘Bhooth Bangla’, who would escape first and who would last the longest? Priyadarshan was quick to reply that Raju would last the longest, calling him a “jugaadu” and a master manipulator who could overwhelm anyone.
Taking the idea further, both Akshay and Priyadarshan humorously started building a scenario around Raju’s survival tactics. “Raju will last the longest because he is jugadu and manipulative,” said Priyadarshan. Adding to the fun, Akshay joked, “Baburao will get in trouble (laughs). He will convince Manjulika to go after Baburao and even trick the ghost into targeting him.” He continued, “Raju can even offer Baburao to the ghost in pieces, one day a leg, the next day something else,” he joked, ending the playful exchange.‘Bhooth Bangla’ has an ensemble cast Paresh Rawaltaboo, Rajpal YadavWamiqa Gabbi, Mithila Palkar and others in prominent roles.
