Bhooth Bangla teaser has finally been released, and fans were excited to see the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after many years. The horror-comedy also stars Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu and Wamiqa Gabbi in key roles.
The film created strong buzz because Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan have delivered many hit comedy films in the past. However, after the teaser came out online, reactions on social media were mixed. Many viewers said the teaser looks interesting but does not have the same charm as their old movies.
The one-minute teaser starts on a spooky note with a voiceover saying that nobody gets married in Mangalpur. It also warns about a mysterious spirit called Vadhusur. Soon after, the teaser shows funny scenes between Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Asrani and Rajpal Yadav, hinting at a mix of horror and comedy.
The story seems to follow Akshay’s character, who is looking for a perfect place to get married. He finds an old haveli, but later realises that the palace is haunted. The teaser shows bats flying in a dark forest, strange sounds and comic moments, giving a glimpse of a classic horror-comedy setup.
Many fans also noticed that the haveli looks similar to the one seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which made viewers even more curious.
