About Bhooth Bangla

Bhooth Bangla is directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Akshay Kumar, Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films. It stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Jisshu Sengupta, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu and Wamiqa Gabbi. This is Akshay and Priyadarshan’s second horror comedy after Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007).

The film also features Asrani and is released posthumously. “Sometimes a picture isn't just a fragment of memories... it captures an entire journey. This picture is from the shoot of our Bhooth Bangla... My second-to-last film with Asrani ji. We did a total of 12 films together, and in every single one, I learned something new from him.. it was like a masterclass every single time,” wrote Akshay, paying tribute to him ahead of the film’s release.

He added, “Comedy seemed so effortless when he did it, but in reality, it's a difficult art. Asrani ji was its master and will always remain so. Bhooth Bangla releases tomorrow... For me, this isn't just a film, it's a memory... it's a tribute... it's a salute to that legend Asrani ji, you'll always be remembered,” Asrani, famous for his jail warden role in Sholay, died on October 20, 2025, at the age of 84. He will also be seen in Haiwaan with Akshay, incidentally also directed by Priyadarshan.
