Akshay Kumar is gearing up to entertain audiences with the horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. Directed by Priyadarshan, the film was initially announced for an April 10 release. However, over the past few days, there have been speculations that the movie will be postponed to a later date to avoid the Dhurandhar 2 wave.

BookMyShow has now listed the film’s release date as April 17, and it may only be a matter of time before an official announcement is made by the makers. Wamiqa Gabbi plays the romantic interest of Akshay Kumar.

The film also stars Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, Mithila Palkar, Rajesh Sharma, and Manoj Joshi in key roles. Bhooth Bangla is jointly produced by Akshay Kumar, Ektaa Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor.

Mamitha Baiju is currently ruling the roost in Tamil cinema, doing a wide variety of roles. After impressing audiences with Dude, she is set to captivate them in a de-glam role in Dhanush-starrer Kara, which releases next month.

She is also the leading lady in Suriya’s Vishwanath & Sons, which is slated for a July release. According to the latest buzz in Kollywood, Mamitha Baiju has now been approached to play the heroine in Soori’s next.

The film, set to be directed by Ravikumar, is reportedly based on the 2015 Chennai floods. As of now, Mamitha Baiju hasn’t confirmed her presence in the film. If she comes on board, it will be another interesting outing from the latest sensation.
