Balaji Motion Pictures has officially announced a new release date for its upcoming film Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar.

The shift in date places the film in an earlier theatrical window, giving it additional breathing space amid a competitive release calendar.
The decision to advance the release is being viewed as a strategic move, particularly considering Akshay Kumar’s busy lineup of theatrical releases in 2026. By arriving earlier, Bhooth Bangla is expected to benefit from reduced box office congestion, allowing the film a more focused run in cinemas. Industry observers note that the move reflects a growing emphasis on spacing out major releases to maximise audience engagement and theatrical longevity.
