The movie, which was scheduled to hit theaters on May 15 this year, will be released on April 10 now. However, netizens called it a bad decision. Let&#8217;s check what the people of the internet have to say. <\/p>\n<p>Akshay Kumar&#8217;s &#8216;Bhooth Bangla&#8217; announcement receives backlash from netizens<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Akshay Kumar dropped the &#8216;Bhooth Bangla&#8217; video, announcing that the movie will hit theaters early. Soon, netizens slammed the use of AI in the announcement video. The clip featured a black cat scratching the date May 15 on a calendar and then spilling milk over it. The cat then licks the milk spilled on the calendar, which reveals the new release date\u2014April 10. Some of the X users went on to call it a &#8220;trash&#8221; promo because of the AI-generated video. Not just that, people even questioned the release date. They expressed that the movie will be out just 3-4 weeks after the release of &#8216;Dhurandhar 2&#8217; and &#8216;Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups&#8217;, which can affect the box office collection of the horror comedy. X users called it a &#8220;bad decision&#8221; by the makers because of the content of the Ranveer Singh starrer, and Yash&#8217;s film turned out to be strong, &#8216;Bhooth Bangla&#8217; will fail at the box office.  <\/p>\n<p>Akshay Kumar\u2019s health mantra at 57: Why dinner at 6:30 PM and Monday fasting keeps illness away<\/p>\n<p> Take a look at the comments here.  <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"AK comments 1\" msid=\"128065509\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ak-comments-1.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"AK comments  2\" msid=\"128065523\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ak-comments-2.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>More about &#8216;Bhooth Bangla&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Priyadarshan, the film stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role.
