Akshay Kumar and Tabu shoot for a classical dance sequence for Bhooth Bangla in Hyderabad
Akshay Kumar and Tabu have filmed a classical dance number for Bhooth Bangla during their Hyderabad schedule, Pinkvilla has exclusively learned. Composed by Pritam, the song showcases Tabu in a never-seen-before avatar, performing classical Indian dance alongside Akshay. A source revealed that the song appears at a crucial moment in the film and is expected to be one of its major highlights.

Bhooth Bangla promises a spooky yet comedic ride, featuring Wamiqa Gabbi as Akshay Kumar’s love interest and Mithila Palkar as his sister. The film reunites the OG gang from classics like Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhag, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. With extensive VFX work, the makers are mounting it on a grand scale for a visually thrilling experience. “The horror / supernatural element of Bhooth Bangla derives from the mythological element, which has been shot with perfection by Priyadarshan,” the source added.

Akshay Kumar, Priyadarshan, and Pritam—who created the cult classic Ami Je Tomar in Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007)—are back together for Bhooth Bangla. Apart from this horror comedy, Akshay and Priyadarshan are also teaming up for Hera Pheri 3, touted as India’s biggest comedy. The much-awaited sequel is set to begin filming in December 2025, with a theatrical release planned for late 2026.
