Akshay Kumar in ‘Bhooth Bangla’
There seems to be a shuffle in Bollywood’s release calendar. Bhooth Bangla, Akshay Kumar’s upcoming horror-comedy, has reportedly been postponed from its previously announced April 2 release date. While the makers have yet to make an official announcement, trade buzz suggests the move is part of a larger strategic reshuffle ahead of a crowded festive window. Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 is also said to be considering a shift from its April 3 date. Industry insiders claim the makers are keen to avoid a direct clash with the expected box-office storm of Dhurandhar 2, which is tracking massive anticipation, along with the continued post-Eid 2026 dominance of Toxic. An official confirmation on the revised dates is still awaited.
