Bollywood’s beloved star Tabu is reuniting with her Hera Pheri co-star Akshay Kumar and iconic filmmaker Priyadarshan for the highly anticipated horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. This exciting collaboration not only rekindles a legendary on-screen duo but also brings Tabu back into a genre she has truly mastered.
Produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures, Bhooth Bangla is set to hit the big screens on April 2, 2026. With Tabu and Akshay Kumar joining forces under Priyadarshan’s direction, fans are already abuzz, eager to see the magic these three powerhouses will create.
Tabu’s Global Stardom Shines Bright
Before diving into this new Bollywood adventure, Tabu has been making waves globally with her performance in Dune: Prophecy. This sci-fi prequel to Denis Villeneuve’s acclaimed Dune franchise has further solidified her reputation as an actor who can seamlessly blend into Indian and international projects.
The Big Announcement
Tabu took to Instagram to share the news with her fans. She posted a hauntingly beautiful image of a clapboard surrounded by candles. The clapboard read:
“Balaji Telefilms Ltd Presents Bhooth Bangla.”
In the caption, she teased, “Hum yahan bandh hain” (We are trapped here)—a cryptic hint about the film’s spooky yet comedic storyline.
The post tagged co-stars Akshay Kumar, Jisshu Sengupta, and Wamiqa Gabbi, as well as director Priyadarshan and music maestro Pritam, who will be crafting the film’s much-awaited soundtrack.
Fans were quick to draw parallels to Tabu’s iconic role as the twin witches in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Akshay’s unforgettable portrayal of Dr. Aditya Shrivastava in the 2007 original Bhool Bhulaiyaa.
A Genre Tabu Knows Best
Tabu’s track record in horror comedies is nothing short of spectacular. From her role as the sinister twin witches in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 to the ghostly escapades of Golmaal Again, she has consistently charmed audiences with her versatility.
Her collaboration with Priyadarshan also brings a sense of nostalgia. Their past hits like Virasat (1997) and Hera Pheri (2000) have proven their creative synergy time and again.
The Akshay-Priyadarshan Magic
Akshay Kumar’s collaborations with Priyadarshan have delivered one box-office success after another, including Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Garam Masala, and Bhagam Bhag. Adding Tabu to this winning formula only raises expectations for Bhooth Bangla.
Wamiqa Gabbi, fresh off her stint alongside Tabu in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Khufiya, brings another layer of excitement to the cast.
What to Expect
Though plot details are under wraps, the film’s title and Tabu’s cryptic caption hint at a quirky haunted house story packed with supernatural hilarity. Priyadarshan’s mastery of comedic timing combined with Pritam’s musical brilliance ensures a thoroughly entertaining experience.
Why Bhooth Bangla Is Unmissable

- The Horror-Comedy Hype: With hits like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Stree, the genre is hotter than ever.
