Akshay Kumar confirms Gorkha shelved ahead of Bhooth Bangla release; says “film is not being made” In a candid interaction with fans ahead of the release of Bhooth Bangla, Akshay Kumar has put an end to long-standing speculation surrounding his ambitious war drama Gorkha. The actor confirmed that the film, which was announced with much fanfare in 2021, is no longer in the pipeline. During a recent live chat session that was held this week, Akshay responded to a fan query about the project, stating, “Nahi Gorkha movie nahi ban rahi hai – kisine abhi poocha hai (No… Gorkha movie is not being made – someone had asked about the film). ” His straightforward response has now clarified the status of the much-discussed biopic, which had been stalled for several years. The development comes after earlier updates from filmmaker Aanand L. Rai, who had addressed rumours surrounding the film back in 2023. At the time, Rai had denied reports that Akshay Kumar had walked out of the project but acknowledged that it had been put on hold due to certain challenges. He had said, “Yes, it is true. We are not making this film for now. There are technical issues. There are factual clarifications that need to be made. ” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama🎥 (@realbollywoodhungama)Gorkha was originally announced in October 2021 as a collaboration between Aanand L.

Several single-screen cinemas yet to open bookings for Bhooth Bangla from April 17 due to show-sharing dispute with Dhurandhar The Revenge The horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla was scheduled for release on April 10, but it was pushed by a week after it failed to secure the desired number of shows amid the Dhurandhar The Revenge wave. The makers, as well as the industry at large, hoped that with Bhooth Bangla releasing on April 17, there would be no issues with regard to showcasing. However, that’s not the case. Less than 24 hours remains for the release and yet, most of the single screens are yet to commence bookings. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Jio Studios has requested that Dhurandhar The Revenge be allotted 50% showcasing in single screens. Their argument is that the film continues to perform well and still has a lot of gas left in the tank. The fact that it collected Rs. 6. 50 crores on Tuesday has further strengthened their case for retaining shows. On the other hand, Bhooth Bangla’s distribution team has requested full showcasing. They believe that Dhurandhar The Revenge has already enjoyed a dream run for four weeks and that it is now time for their film to get its fair share of shows. Moreover, they have cited ticket sales for the paid previews and the overall advance booking trends to argue that Bhooth Bangla, too, has the potential to succeed, as there is clearly demand for it. ”Bhooth Bangla will have paid previews from tonight, Thursday, April 16. ... #Dhurandhar #Bhooth_Bangla #April #Bangla #Bhooth #horror-comedy_Bhooth #Revenge_wave #single-screen_cinemas #show-sharing_dispute #desired_number

This has spiked a huge conversation in the industry, as many are questioning the move. While the delay is attributed to the historic business of Dhurandhar 2, Bollywood Hungama has dived into the real reason for the postponement. A source told Bollywood Hungama, "The distribution head of Jio Studios, Deepak Sharma has told the multiplexes to pull back the KDM of Dhurandhar 2 in the fourth week if they don't promise 10,000 shows to the film in the release week of Bhooth Bangla. He has taken this in writing from the exhibitors, and given the historic run, no one was willing to take the risk of missing out on a single penny of Dhurandhar 2. "The makers of Bhooth Bangla were fighting till the last minute to get a respectable release from April 10. "The Bhooth Bangla team contended that Dhurandhar 2 would have earned Rs. 1,000 crores by April 10, and all they wanted was a release that almost all mid-sized Akshay Kumar films get. But the Jio Studios distribution head had given a strict instruction to the exhibitors. It's the game of power, and with a project like Dhurandhar, the studio and its head are looking to establish themselves as the #1 distributor in India.

As a result, the team of Bhooth Bangla have begun contemplating whether they should bring the horror comedy on April 10 or whether it should be postponed by a week. ”“A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The way Dhurandhar The Revenge is performing, it is clear that the craze is not going to die down anytime soon. Bhooth Bangla also looks like an exciting film. But since Dhurandhar 2 is doing historic business, there’s a strong possibility that it could perform exceptionally well even in its fourth week, which coincides with the release of Bhooth Bangla. Meanwhile, there’s no Hindi film currently scheduled for release on April 17. ”The source added, “At the same time, Dhurandhar The Revenge would have exhausted most of its business by the end of four weeks. Hence, it could also work in Bhooth Bangla’s favour to arrive on April 10, by when most people would have already seen the Ranveer Singh-starrer. Therefore, lead actor and producer Akshay Kumar and producer Ekta Kapoor are closely analyzing the situation and will take a call within the next 24 hours. ”The source continued, “If Bhooth Bangla arrives on April 10, the makers plan to release the much-awaited theatrical trailer on Friday, March 27. ... #Dhurandhar #Bhooth_Bangla #April #Bangla #Revenge #Bhooth #Monday_proves #Revenge_wave #wave_Dhurandhar #contemplates_postponing

Bhooth Bangla has no connection with Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, clarifies T-Series T-Series has reacted strongly to online speculation claiming that Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film Bhooth Bangla has been developed using a storyline connected to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Putting an end to the rumours, the production house has clarified that the two projects have no link whatsoever. The statement comes after reports suggested that the script of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was allegedly reworked and used for Bhooth Bangla. However, T-Series has firmly denied any such development. Shiv Chanana, co-producer at T-Series, addressed the chatter and said the claims are baseless. “We have also come across some articles, but the fact is we have never received any script from Mr Priyadarshan or his team for making a Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise,” he said. Chanana also emphasised that the franchise is entirely controlled and developed by the studio itself. “It is our franchise. If anything has to be developed, it will be developed by us and under our supervision, which is exactly how Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 were made. I don’t understand where these stories are coming from—this was never the case,” he added. Reports further quoted industry insiders claiming that T-Series considers the Bhool Bhulaiyaa brand a major asset, and any attempt to draw indirect association with it could invite legal consequences. With the clarification now out, the studio has urged audiences to rely only on offic... #Akshay_Kumar #Bhooth_Bangla #Bhool_Bhulaiyaa #Bhulaiyaa #Bhool #film_Bhooth #Bangla #reacted_strongly #online_speculation #upcoming_film
