Bhooth Bangla: Akshay Kumar Opens Up On Working With Asrani, Pays Tribute To Him

Ever since its announcement, Bhooth Bangla has kept audiences excited, and the trailer has offered a glimpse into its much-awaited horror-comedy world. Packed with the perfect mix of humour and scares, the film promises to be a wholesome family entertainer. Amidst this, Akshay Kumar reminisced about working with the late legendary actor Asrani and wrote a heartfelt note while paying him tribute.

Ahead of Bhooth Bangla's release tomorrow, Akshay Kumar took to his social media to share a picture and penned a heartfelt note for the late legendary actor Asrani, remembering his experience of working with him and the lessons he learned. He wrote -

"Kabhi kabhi ek tasveer sirf yaadon ka tukda nahi hoti... ek poori journey ko samet leti hai Yeh picture humari Bhooth Bangla ki shoot se hai...Asrani ji ke saath meri second last film. Total 12 films humne saath ki, aur har ek mein maine unse kuch naya seekha... it was like a masterclass every single time. Comedy itni aasaan lagti thi jab woh karte the, lekin asal mein woh ek mushkil kala hai. Asrani ji uske ustad the aur hamesha rahenge.

Bhooth Bangla kal release ho rahi hai... mere liye yeh sirf ek film nahi, ek yaad hai... ek tribute hai... ek salute hai uss legend ko
Asrani ji, aap hamesha yaad aayenge"

Moreover, Bhooth Bangla is among the last few films of the late legendary actor Asrani before his demise on 20th October. Akshay Kumar and Asrani worked together in several films, including Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, De Dana Dan, Khatta Meetha, Welcome, and many more. With his brilliant comic timing, Asrani delivered many cult classics and made a significant contribution to Indian cinema.
