Mumbai: As the makers of the highly-anticipated horror-comedy ‘Bhooth Bangla’ dropped the film’s teaser on Thursday, fans said it reminded them of Akshay Kumar’s 2007 blockbuster film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’.
The 1-minute, 23-second teaser features Akshay’s character, whose house is haunted, cracking jokes and impressing fans with his perfect comic timing.
The teaser begins with the legend of Vadhusur of Mangalpur, a character who apparently kills anyone who wishes to get married there.
Akshay’s character inherits a palace, similar to Buckingham Palace, in Mangalpur.
While Akshay’s character seems sceptical about ghosts at first, the teaser hints that he’ll soon change his mind.
The teaser also introduces other important characters in the film, played by Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajpal Yadav, Mithila Palkar, Jisshu Sengupta, Rajesh Sharma and the late Asrani.
Thrilled to see Akshay’s humorous side again, fans took to the comments section to share their reactions.
“Bhooth Bangla (cross emoji) Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (tick emoji),” said one.
“Akshay Kumar’s Comic timing (raised hands emoji),” commented another.
“Bhooth Bangla excited priyadrashan and Akshay Kumar combo fire,” wrote one person.
Another commented, “The OGs Are Back!! The BB Duo Akki × Priyadarshan Reunion = Guaranteed Entertainment!! Waiting For This Madness!”
One netizen wrote, “Records todega (will break records),” while another remarked, “Blockbuster loading.”
Priyadarshan and Akshay did not team up for the film’s second and third instalment. Director Anees Bazmee and actor Karthik Aryan had combined in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’.
‘Bhooth Bangla’ will hit theatres on April 10.
