Akshay Kumar unveils Bhooth Bangla first look

Akshay Kumar has excited fans by revealing the first look of his upcoming film Bhooth Bangla. The actor shared the poster on his official Instagram account on Tuesday, February 24. The reveal quickly went viral across social media platforms and increased anticipation for the horror-comedy project.

Kumar captioned the post with a playful message. He wrote, “Dus ko denge das-tak, intezar karo tab tak… Let the fun begin! #BhoothBangla in cinemas on 10th April 2026.” The caption confirmed the new release date and hinted at the film’s comedic tone. Fans responded with excitement and curiosity about the storyline.

The first look shows Kumar in a dramatic and unusual avatar. He sits shirtless on a spooky throne designed with eerie details. He opens his mouth wide in an exaggerated expression, which adds both humour and horror to the visual. The background also features the tune of an upcoming track from the film. This musical hint further increased audience interest.

The reveal came shortly after the actor released a short teaser earlier this month. On February 7, he shared a brief promotional clip and announced that the film’s release schedule had changed. Initially, the movie was planned for a theatrical release on May 15, 2026. However, the team later moved the date forward.

Kumar confirmed that the film will now arrive in cinemas on April 10, 2026. He used a humorous line to explain the change. He wrote, “Bhooth Bangla ka countdown rewind! 15 May 10 April milte hain theatres mein.” The announcement surprised fans but also created fresh buzz around the project.

The upcoming film marks Kumar’s return to the horror-comedy genre after the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa. That earlier film became a cult favourite and strengthened his reputation for comic timing. Many viewers now expect Bhooth Bangla to deliver a similar entertainment experience with a new storyline and characters.

Industry observers believe the film could perform strongly at the box office due to Kumar’s popularity and the audience’s interest in horror-comedy content. The genre has gained momentum in recent years, and established stars often attract large crowds.

For now, the first look has successfully created excitement. Fans eagerly await the trailer and more details about the plot, music, and supporting cast. With the release date confirmed, Bhooth Bangla is set to compete in the busy 2026 cinema calendar and aims to bring laughter and thrills to audiences.
