The makers of Akshay Kumar‘s most-awaited horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla, are considering delaying its release. Initially scheduled for April 10, the film might be moved to April 17 as Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to dominate theatres across India. With Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller still drawing huge crowds, Bhooth Bangla may not get enough screens for a fair release. Producers are reviewing options and a final decision is expected soon.
Will Bhooth Bangla be pushed to new date?
According to sources, producers of Bhooth Bangla are weighing the possibility of a one-week delay. This move comes after observing how Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s hold on screens affected the release of other films like Project Hail Mary. “Given how previous releases struggled for screens amid Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s dominance, we are considering pushing Bhooth Bangla to April 17 to ensure maximum reach,” the source shared. By mid-April, Dhurandhar: The Revenge will have completed nearly a month in theatres, potentially freeing up screens for new releases.
Why did producers consider delaying Bhooth Bangla?
The decision is primarily driven by Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s massive box office success and its continued pull at theatres. Fans on social media have also voiced concerns about a fair release for Bhooth Bangla. Moving the release date ensures that the film can get more screens and reach its intended audience without battling for space with a dominant blockbuster.
