About Akshay Kumar’s Bhoot Bangla
Akshay Kumar announces Bhoot Bangla A source had earlier revealed to Mid-day that the film will go on floors in December 2024. “On December 8, the unit will begin the first schedule in Mumbai on a set designed by Sabu Cyril. After that, a straight schedule has been chalked out from January to April 2025. They will shoot in Hyderabad, forests of Kerala, Sri Lanka, followed by the final leg in Gujarat,” the source shared. In the next few weeks, the director intends to zero in on the female lead. In May, mid-day had reported that Alia Bhatt, Kiara Advani and Keerthy Suresh were the frontrunners for the role. But Suresh is apparently out of the race due to date issues.
It’s already known that the film—a blend of fantasy, humour and the supernatural —will explore the theme of black magic. The source adds that Kumar will play a Casanova of sorts. “Like his character in Garam Masala [2005], Akshay will be seen wooing three women again. However, his life takes a serious turn when he encounters black magic. The story has been conceptualised by Ektaa R Kapoor.”
