Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and Tabu, is set to hit the silver screens next week on April 17, with paid previews starting at 9 pm on April 16. The film also stars Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, late actor Asrani, Wamiqa Gabbi, Mithila Palkar and several others in key roles.
The trailer, released yesterday, left many fans unimpressed. Although Priyadarshan has said that the film is not a sequel to Bhool Bhulaiyaa, some scenes and even the haunted house shown in the film reminded viewers of the 2007 movie.
