‘Bhooth Bangla’ release delayed; paid previews from April 16, makers reveal reason
The makers of Bhooth Bangla confirmed their first release plan before they announced their upcoming paid preview events.
The horror comedy movie which Ektaa Kapoor and Akshay Kumar produced will now be released one week later than its original schedule because paid preview screenings will start on April 16, 2026 from 9 PM.
The industry decided to develop this project because they wanted to achieve their goal of creating optimal theatre space for their upcoming film releases.
Addressing the decision, Ektaa said, “After an extensive discussion and multiple requests from our distribution partner & exhibitors across key markets we have decided to postpone the release of Bhooth Bangla by one week. We remain committed to delivering a great cinematic experience and are confident that this decision will benefit audiences and let the film have a powerful run at the cinemas.”
She further added, “Dhurandhar: The Revenge is currently enjoying an exceptional run at the box office which is great news for producers at large. Our exhibitors felt that giving it a clear uninterrupted window would be in the best interest of the industry ecosystem.”
Explaining the larger strategy, Kapoor noted, “By moving Bhooth Bangla ahead by a week we are ensuring that both films get the theatrical space marketing focus and audience attention they truly deserve. We believe this approach benefits everyone the filmmakers, the exhibitors and most importantly the audiences who get to experience each film without compromise.”
