Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is celebrating his 57th birthday on Monday. On his birthday, he has given a very wonderful gift to his fans. Akshay has now announced a new film and the special thing about it is that his new film is with director Priyadarshan.
Akshay’s new film is titled ‘Bhoot Bangla’ and he is working with Priyadarshan on this project after 14 years. The last film of this director-actor duo was ‘Khatta Meetha’, released in 2010.
Akshay-Priyadarshan’s ‘Bhoot Bangla’
Akshay announced the film on social media with a motion poster and wrote, ‘Thank you for all your love on my birthday, year after year! This year I am celebrating with the first look of ‘Bhoot Bangla’. I am very excited to work with Priyadarshan again after 14 years. This dream collaboration has been waiting to happen for a long time.. Can’t wait to share this amazing journey with all of you. Stay tuned for more magic!’
Fans have been waiting for this collaboration for years
The craze for Akshay Kumar’s comedy is very strong among the public. And his films with Priyadarshan have played a big role in creating this craze. Priyadarshan and Akshay worked together for the first time in the film ‘Hera Pheri’ which was released in the year 2000. This film presented the comedy side of ‘Khiladi’ Akshay, who has become an action star, in front of the audience.
After ‘Hera Pheri’, Akshay worked with Priyadarshan in 6 comedy films and all of them are among the audience’s favourite comedy films. Garam Masala (2005), Bhagam Bhag (2006), Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), De Dana Dan (2009) and Khatta Meetha (2010) are Priyadarshan’s films. This pair has not only given funny and memorable comedy films, but their record at the box office is also excellent. The Akshay-Priyadarshan pair has worked together in 6 films so far, and all of them are successful films at the box office.
Akshay, who is facing a series of flops, has hope from Priyadarshan
Akshay Kumar’s career is currently struggling with a series of flop films. In the last 3 years, 10 of his films have flopped. His last hit film was ‘Sooryavanshi’ which was released in 2022. ‘OMG 2’ which released last year was a big hit, but Akshay was not in the lead role in it, rather he had a supporting role.
In 2024, his ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, ‘Sarfira’ and ‘Khel Khel Mein’ have flopped in a row. While in ‘Khel Khel Mein’, Akshay was also seen in a proper comedy avatar. But the audience who have seen Akshay in the top form of comedy believe that he now needs to do something on the big screen like he used to do in Priyadarshan’s films. In such a situation, Akshay’s new collaboration with Priyadarshan can bring a big hit in his career.
How did Priyadarshan’s comedy films work without Akshay?
Without Akshay, Priyadarshan has made 8 comedy films. Out of these, 4- Dhol, Mere Baap Pehle Aap, Billu and Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal flopped at the box office. While the other 4- Hungama, Hulchul, Malamaal Weekly and Chup Chup Ke were successful at the box office.
After ‘Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal’ in 2012, Priyadarshan came up with the Hindi comedy film ‘Hungama 2’ after 9 years. This film, released on OTT, neither got very good reviews from critics nor much praise from the public. That is, Priyadarshan needs a big hit as much as Akshay.
The coming together of Akshay and Priyadarshan is also a great news for those fans who are missing Bollywood’s classic comedy in theatres. In such a situation, ‘Bhoot Bangla’ can become that film which can give complete enjoyment to Akshay, Priyadarshan and fans.
