Bhooth Bangla is a fantastic combination of spine-tingling laughs and ghostly chaos. Inspired by Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the drama marks the return of the dream team comprising Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, and Rajpal Yadav. In the upcoming release, the 58-year-old actor essays the role of a skeptical ghost hunter. He is accidentally trapped in a haunted ancestral mansion, “Bhooth Bangla,” where everything is unpredictable and abnormal.

Alongside the actor comes Paresh Rawal as a tantrik-turned-life coach. Joining them is Tabu, a mysterious medium with secrets of her own, and lastly, Rajpal Yadav as a cowardly caretaker who encounters ghosts everywhere. In a nutshell, the comedy family drama is a classic blend of chaos, confusion, and cleverly timed scares that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Right from witty one-liners, heartwarming scenes, to spooky antics, there is something for everyone.
