Addressing the choice, Ektaa Kapoor said, \u201cAfter an intensive discussion and multiple requests from our distribution partner &#038; exhibitors across key markets, we have now decided to postpone the discharge of <em>Bhooth Bangla<\/em> by one week. We remain committed to delivering an incredible cinematic experience and are confident that this decision will profit audiences and let the film have a strong run on the cinemas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She further added, \u201c<em>Dhurandhar: The Revenge<\/em> is currently having fun with an exceptional run on the box office, which is great news for producers at large. Our exhibitors felt that giving it a transparent, uninterrupted window can be in the perfect interest of the industry ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Explaining the larger strategy, Kapoor noted, \u201cBy moving <em>Bhooth Bangla<\/em> ahead by per week, we&#8217;re ensuring that each movies get the theatrical space, marketing focus, and audience attention they really deserve. We imagine this approach advantages everyone \u2014 the filmmakers, the exhibitors, and most significantly, the audiences who get to experience each film without compromise.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWnwtTIipE-\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>Directed by Priyadarshan, <em>Bhooth Bangla<\/em> marks his reunion with Akshay Kumar, a collaboration known for delivering popular comedy entertainers.
