Akshay Kumar reveals Mithila Palkar's role

Akshay Kumar recently shared a video confirming that Mithila will play his sister in the film.

The actor said, “Mithila started her journey from the internet and is working in many films now. And soon, she will be seen with an actor who is very well known to me, guess who, me. In ‘Bhooth Bangla’, Mithila will be seen playing the role not of the ‘bhooth’, but of my sister.”

Star studded cast of 'Bhooth Bangla'

'Bhooth Bangla' features a strong ensemble that includes Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu and Rajpal Yadav. The film is being presented as a complete family entertainer filled with fun, warmth and chaotic comedy.

'Bhooth Bangla' is all set to release in theatres on April 10, 2026.

Priyadarshan's previous outing was the Mohanlal starrer 'Kunjali Marakkar'. Although expectations were high for the period action film which was based on a real-life character, 'Kunjali Marakar' failed to impress audiences and did not collect huge numbers at the box office as expected. With 'Bhooth Bangla', Priyadarshan is expected to mark his comeback.
