The buzz surrounding the highly anticipated horror-comedy Bhoot Bangla reached a fever pitch today as Bollywood star Sidharth Malhotra took to social media to shower praise on the film’s trailer and its lead, Lakshya.
The trailer, which was officially unveiled on April 6, marks the legendary reunion of director Priyadarshan and superstar Akshay Kumar after 14 years. However, it is the performance of newcomer Lakshya that has caught the industry’s eye, earning a special shout-out from the Shershaah actor.
Malhotra, known for supporting fresh talent in the industry, shared the trailer on his Instagram story with a glowing caption. He lauded the film’s perfect balance of spooky and hilarious and specifically tagged Lakshya, praising his infectious energy and natural comic timing.
This looks like an absolute riot! So good to see the OGs back, and lakshya, you are killing it, brother. Can’t wait to check this out in theaters! Malhotra wrote.
Bhoot Bangla is being hailed as a spiritual successor to the chaotic, situational comedies that defined the early 2000s.
The trailer introduces viewers to the eerie town of Mangalpur and a haunted mansion where supernatural events are treated with a heavy dose of humor. The nostalgic vibe has already drawn comparisons to the iconic Bhool Bhulaiyaa, with fans particularly excited to see the trio of Akshay, Paresh, and Rajpal back together.
Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films, Bhoot Bangla has secured a UA 16+ rating from the CBFC. After a slight shift in the schedule to avoid a box-office clash, the film is now set for a grand theatrical release on April 17, 2026.
For those who can’t wait, special paid previews will begin on the evening of April 16 across major multiplexes. With Sidharth Malhotra’s endorsement adding to the growing momentum, Bhoot Bangla is positioned to be one of the biggest crowd-pullers of the season.
