‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is refusing to slow down at the box office already minting Rs 1,300 crore globally. This seems to have concerned the makers of ‘Bhooth Bangla’. The Akshay Kumar horror comedy which is helmed by Priyadarshan, was slated to release on April 10th but the momentum of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ has compelled the producers of ‘Bhooth Bangla’ rethink their decision. Announcing the change in plans, Ekta Kapoor’s production house shared in a statement, “After a collective call with our distributors and the exhibitors, we have decided on a new release date for ‘Bhooth Bangla’, 16th April with the first show starting at 9 pm. ‘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, 9 pm onwards.” Instead of hiding behind excuses, it comes as a pleasant surprise and a welcoming change that the makers have accepted the real reason behind pushing their film.
