"This dream collaboration has been a long time coming… can’t wait to share this incredible journey with you all. Stay tuned for the magic! #BhoothBangla (sic)" Akshay captioned the film's announcement motion poster on Instagram.
Akshay and Priyadarshan have also appeared in several hit comedies, such as "Hera Pheri," "Garam Masala," "Bhool Bhulaiyaa," "De Dana Dan," and "Bhagam Bhag."
"Bhooth Bangla" is produced by Balaji Telefilms Ltd in association with Cape of Good Films.
