Known for delivering several popu- lar comedies together, the duo returns with a film that blends supernatural intrigue with classic slapstick humour. The teaser introduces viewers to a mysterious mansion that forms the centrepiece of the story. In a humorous moment, Akshay Kumar’s character de- scribes the sprawling property as being “only two rooms smaller than Bucking- ham Palace,” setting the tone for the film’s playful take on horror. Despite the clearly eerie surround- ings, his character repeatedly insists that ghosts do not exist. A major part of the teaser focuses on the dynamic between Kumar’s char- acter and the role played byWamiqa Gabbi. While Gabbi’s character appears increasingly convinced that supernatu- ral forces are at work, Kumar remains sceptical, creating the comedic tension that drives the footage. The teaser also confirms a large ensemble cast including actors Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, Manoj Joshi, Tabu, Mithila Palkar and Jisshu Sengupta. Alongside the humour, the teaser hints at a darker backstory surround- ing the mansion. A local legend warns that no one should get married inside the castle due to an ancient supernatu- ral curse, suggesting that the narrative will revolve around the mystery behind the haunted estate. The teaser combines eerie visuals with Priyadarshan’s trademark situa- tional comedy and slapstick moments. The nostalgic tone has already drawn comparisons to earlier collabo- rations between the actor and director, including films such as Bhool Bhulai- yaa, Phir Hera Pheri and Bhagam Bhag, all of which became popular with audiences. As soon as the teaser was dropped on social media by the makers of the film, fans chimmed into the com- ments section. “Finnally finnaallly the the bolly- wood comedy came back thank you @priyadarshan.official sir,” one fan wrote. Another social media user com- mented, “The 20s Comedy is back with the reunion of the OGs.” ‘Bhooth Bangla’ features Akshay Kumar alongside Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, Asrani andWamiqa Gabbi. The film is presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with Cape of Good Films. It is produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor. The film completed its shoot- ing schedule in May last year and is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 10, 2026. -ANI PHOTO:ANI Trailer Of Sai Pallavi, Junaid Khan’s ‘Ek Din’ Unveiled Malayalam Thriller ‘Kasaragod Embassy’ To Be Out On March 20 T he trailer of Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan’s ‘Ek Din’ was released onWednesday.

Nair and produced by Legendary Movies, the series features a compelling ensemble cast including Abu Salim, Go- vind Pai, Rony David, Sudheesh, Kabir Duhan Singh, Deepak Parambol, Arjun, and more. Speaking about the series, Director Atish M. Nair in a press note shared, “Our goal with Kasaragod Embassy was to build a world that feels tense, atmo- spheric and constantly unpredictable. The characters are flawed, ambitious and deeply human, which makes their journey all the more gripping.” Actor Kabir Duhan Singh said, “What stood out for me in Kasaragod Embassy was the narrative’s realism and the way every character is written with restraint. My role, Dammanna, is powerful not because he is loud, but because he knows how to impose fear qui- etly. It’s a character built on silence, calculation and impact, and I’m glad viewers will get to experience this world on ZEE5.” Actor Deepak Parambol added, “Vivek represents the outside world trying to make sense of what’s hap- pening beneath the surface. Every scene with him carries a little tension, because the audience knows more than he does. That contrast between curiosity and danger is what makes the character engaging to play.” As per the makers, Kasaragod Embassy tells the “story of two cousins whose desire for a better life pulls them into a dangerous world of forged identities, high-risk deals and shifting loyalties. What begins as a small step to escape their circumstances spirals into a chain of events that challenges their bond, tests their conscience and threatens their survival. With every choice they make, the consequences grow sharper, drawing them deeper into a network far beyond their control.” -ANI PHOTO:ANI PHOTO:ANI
