The makers are gearing up to release the highly-anticipated film Bhooth Bangla. It stars Akshay Kumar, Asrani, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal and more in leading roles. While the movie boasts of a stellar cast, the highlight of the film lies in it being Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s 14th film together. They are reuniting after giving hits like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag, Chup Chup Ke, Dhol, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Khatta Meetha and more.

When we sat for a conversation with Bhooth Bangla’s writer Rohan Shankar, he revealed to us that the film may have references about Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s previous films. He told us, “I am big fan of these people. I used to show them memes from their previous movies while shooting. I am a meme person. I still send memes of Akshay (Kumar) sir. Our WhatsApp chat is full of those memes. So, on one or two occasions, I tried to implement some of the legendary lines. But only when it came naturally. I did not force any line where it did not fit. But you know, I could not control myself.”

Rohan further added, “There might be a few of these lines in the trailer also. Audiences will enjoy a lot. There was much madness on sets because of Akshay sir, Paresh (Rawal) ji, late Asrani sir, Rajpal Yadav and more. Moreover, Tabu ma’am, Akshay sir and Priyadarshan sir have been working together for 30 years now. It was a big reunion of sorts. I had to live up to those expectations with my writing. And when you are a cinema fan, you are always engrossed in movies. Plus, my generation has grown up with Priyadarshan sir’s films. They are timeless movies. Many young people also pick things from those films to make memes. I have tried to incorporate the madness in many places.”

Bhooth Bangla is slated to release on April 10, 2026.
