Bhooth Bangla To Become Akshay Kumar's Highest Opening Horror Comedy

If the prediction turned out to be true, Bhooth Bangla will be earning around 4 times more than the opening day collection of Bhool Bhulaiyaa (Rs 3.88cr) and will emerge as Akshay's highest grossing horror comedy

Meanwhile, in a conversation with Bollywood Life, director Priyadarshan spoke about the comparisons between Bhooth Bangla and Bhool Bhulaiyaa and stated, "This is completely different because the only nostalgia you get is because of these actors. Otherwise, that was a psychological thriller (Bhool Bhulaiyaa) and Bhoot Bangla is complete fantasy, like, will it happen or not? It could happen, or it could not happen. Bhoot Bangla is inspired by what we have in our folklore, mythology and superstitions".
