Bhoot Bangla Trailer: After 15 Years Akshay Kumar, Priyadarshan Reunite For a Spooky Laughter Ride
The wait is finally over. The trailer for Bhoot Bangla dropped on Monday, giving audiences their first full look at Akshay Kumar’s much-anticipated return to horror-comedy and more significantly, his reunion with director Priyadarshan after more than a decade. The two last collaborated on Khatta Meetha in 2010, a pairing that had become synonymous with high-energy, situational comedy in Hindi cinema.
About Trailer
Running just over three minutes, the trailer wastes no time throwing viewers into familiar Priyadarshan territory layered chaos, sharp situational humour, and a plot built around an increasingly absurd premise. Kumar’s character inherits an old bungalow flanked by a haunted forest, and despite the property’s ominous reputation, he refuses to let it go. Adding to the madness, he is equally determined to get married in the village of Mangalpur a place locals have long avoided because of a malevolent entity known as Vadhusur.
Welcome to Bhooth Bangla. Yahan na toh log normal hain… Aur upar se Bangla bhi paranormal hai.
