CHENNAI: The makers of the upcoming horror-comedy film, Bhooth Bangla, headlined by Akshay Kumar, have decided to move its release date. On Thursday, co-producer Ektaa Kapoor took to social media, and shared that the makers decided to push the release of the film owing to the exceptional performance of the Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

The film, which was earlier set to debut in theatres on April 10, will now hit the screens on April 16. Produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor, and directed by Priyadarshan, the film also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, and Mithila Palkar.

Bhooth Bangla marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. The duo has previously delivered several iconic comedy hits that remain fan favourites.
