Bhooth Bangla teaser dropped

The teaser for Bhooth Bangla begins with the legend of Vadhusur of Mangalpur, an entity who seemingly kills anyone who dares to get married there. Akshay happens to inherit a palace there that’s 2-3 rooms shy of being Buckingham Palace. The teaser also introduces other characters in the film played by Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajpal Yadav, Mithila Palkar, Jisshu Sengupta, Rajesh Sharma and the late Asrani. Even as Akshay’s character seems sceptical about the presence of ghosts, the teaser hints that he’ll soon change his mind.

Internet calls it Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

Fans left numerous comments as soon as the trailer dropped, thrilled to see Akshay’s lighthearted side again. “Bhooth Bangla (cross emoji) Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (tick emoji),” commented one fan on YouTube. “Akshay Kumar's Comic timing (raised hands emoji),” commented a fan on Instagram. For the unversed, Priyadarshan and Akshay did not return for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and 3, with Anees Bazmee taking on as director and Karthik Aryan as lead star.

“Bhooth Bangla excited priyadrashan and Akshay Kumar combo fire,” wrote one person, while another commented, “The OGs Are Back!! The BB Duo Akki × Priyadarshan Reunion = Guaranteed Entertainment!! Waiting For This Madness!” Numerous other fans also thought the film would do well at the box office, leaving comments like, “Records todega (will break records),” and “Blockbuster loading.”
