Akshay Kumar on his birthday, thrilled fans with the announcement of his next film, Bhooth Bangla. This project not only marks his return to the horror-comedy genre but also reunites him with renowned director Priyadarshan. The actor-director duo has delivered some iconic films together, including Hera Pheri (2000), Garam Masala (2005) and Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007).
