Bhooth Bangla: Cast and crew
Bhooth Bangla leans into a familiar mix of humour, confusion and moments shaped by its characters. Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films, it brings together Akshay Kumar, Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Asrani, Jisshu Sengupta and Mithila Palkar in key roles.
The film was initially scheduled to hit theatres on April 10, but the makers later shifted its release to April 16. The change came at a time when Dhurandhar: The Revenge was performing strongly at the box office.
