Akshay Kumar dropped the first-look motion poster for his horror-comedy 'Bhoot Bangla', revealing an intense 'tantrik-like' avatar. The film, directed by Priyadarshan, has been preponed and will now release on April 10, 2026.

Akshay Kumar on Tuesday dropped a striking first-look motion poster of his much-awaited horror-comedy 'Bhoot Bangla'. Taking to Instagram on February 24, the actor shared an intriguing glimpse of his character, instantly sparking excitement among fans. The motion poster presents Akshay in a dramatic 'tantrik-like' avatar, marking a distinct shift from his recent on-screen personas. Seated shirtless on an eerie, intricately carved throne adorned with demonic faces, he sports black sunglasses and multiple strands of Rudraksha beads. Holding a rosary, the actor appears mid-scream, his mouth wide open, creating an intense yet theatrical visual that hints at the film's horror-comedy tone. Accompanying the poster was a playful caption that read, "Dus ko denge das-tak, intezar karo tab tak... Let the fun begin!" https://www.instagram.com/p/DVIRSqpDNil/
