Akshay Kumar Confident About Bhooth Bangla

With Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2) in theatres and creating waves at the box office, netizens feel that the film's success could impact Bhooth Bangla, as it is releasing just days after Dhurandhar 2. However, Akshay remains confident in his film’s appeal, noting that Bhooth Bangla caters to children and families, unlike the Ranveer Singh-starrer, which carries an adult rating.

He told IANS, "I am very happy that the film (Dhurandhar 2) is running so well and attracting such large audiences. It has taken Indian cinema to a new level, which is very encouraging. Three weeks is usually sufficient, and here we are talking about 21 days... This is good for the industry and also gives you opportunities to do more interviews. If films don’t perform, there would be no platform for such interactions".
