EXCLUSIVE: Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangla release date postponed in anticipation of the Dhurandhar 2 wave; new date to be announced shortly
A source close to the project shared with Bollywood Hungama, “Akshay Kumar is aware that Dhurandhar 2 could rewrite history at the box office and doesn’t want to arrive in the middle of what could be a historic moment of Indian Cinema. He is a smart businessman, and also saw how the first part of Dhurandhar took a hit on the Christmas release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. He has discussed the idea of delay with Ekta Kapoor, and will be announcing a new date soon.”
The source also confirmed that for Akshay, it is always about business acumen and not ego. “Akshay isn’t someone who would claim ownership of a date just because he announced it first. He thinks for the industry, and after a long chat with Aditya Dhar and Jyoti Deshpande about Dhurandhar 2, he has himself decided to push the horror comedy back by a month or two,” the source told Bollywood Hungama.
