The recently-released teaser and songs of the film have already created a lot of buzz.
‘Bhooth Bangla’ is scheduled to be released on April 10, but some reports suggested that the makers might push the release date of the film by a week.
“Fans of Akshay are urging the superstar to consider pushing the film’s release from April 10 to April 17, expressing their desire for the film to enjoy a longer theatrical run. Known for always valuing audience sentiments, we’ll have to now see if Akshay will take this fan demand into account,” a source was quoted as saying by News18 Showsha.
However, there’s no official confirmation about the release date being postponed.
The film also stars Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Wamiqa Gabbi, Asrani and Rajpal Yadav in key roles.
