Bhooth Bangla vs Dhurandhar 2

"Dhurandhar: The Revenge performing exceptionally well is heartening news for our film industry, and the exhibitors feel that this shift will allow both films the space, focus, and attention they deserve. The Bhooth Bangla team looks forward to welcoming you in cinemas on April 16th from 9 PM onwards," it added.

This was the second time that the makers have changed the release date of the film. Previously, reports claimed that the makers pushed the trailer and film release to avoid clashing with Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead.

Bhooth Bangla is produced by Akshay Kumar , Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under the banner of Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with Cape of Good Films.
