The sets of the highly anticipated horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla recently traded spooky vibes for sports fever. In a delightful break from filming, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and Indian cricket icon Shikhar Dhawan were spotted engaging in a high-energy cricket match that has now gone viral across social media.
A Clash of Titans: Khiladi vs. Gabbar
The impromptu match began during a routine filming break when Dhawan made a surprise visit to the set. What started as a casual hangout quickly escalated into a competitive game of “gully cricket.”
Videos shared by Balaji Motion Pictures show a spirited atmosphere where the crew turned into a roaring stadium crowd. Akshay, known for his athletic prowess, took the bat and managed to smash a few confident boundaries. However, the professional edge of “Gabbar” (Dhawan) was too much to handle; the cricketer eventually clean-bowled the actor with a sharp delivery, leading to a chorus of “Howzzat!” across the set.
“Team India ko bhooooth saara good luck! Ram ji aake bhala karenge baaki ka kaam boys kar denge!” the production house captioned the video, referencing the film’s recently released hit song.
