The iconic trio of Akshay Kumar, director Priyadarshan, and music composer Pritam is officially back, and it seems they are bringing some high-caliber musical magic with them. In a recent interview with Filmygyan on April 11, 2026, Priyadarshan dropped a major update regarding the soundtrack of his highly anticipated horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla.

Fans of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa legacy have been waiting for a spiritual successor to the legendary “Mere Dholna,” and Priyadarshan’s latest revelation has sent excitement through the roof. The director confirmed that melody queen Shreya Ghoshal will be performing a significant classical song for the film.

“There is a classical background in this movie,” Priyadarshan noted during the interview, emphasizing that the musical score will play a pivotal role in setting the film’s eerie yet entertaining atmosphere. With Pritam at the helm of the music, the collaboration with Shreya Ghoshal is being hailed by netizens as “another banger loading.”

Bhooth Bangla marks the long-awaited reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after nearly 14 years. Known for their impeccable comic timing in classics like Hera Pheri and Garam Masala, the duo is returning to the horror-comedy genre—a space they perfected with the original Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

By incorporating a strong classical element into the music, Priyadarshan seems to be leaning into the “musical horror” aesthetic that made his previous work so culturally significant. The addition of Shreya Ghoshal’s vocals suggests a sophisticated and technically demanding soundtrack that goes beyond typical commercial numbers.

Social media platforms like X were flooded with reactions following the Filmygyan interview. Fans pointed out that the combination of Priyadarshan’s vision and Shreya’s classical prowess is a “winning formula.” One viral post noted, “The king of comedy and the queen of melody are coming to reclaim the horror-comedy throne.”

As production on Bhooth Bangla continues, the musical updates have become a central point of hype. With a confirmed classical track from the industry’s finest, the film is shaping up to be a complete sensory experience when it hits theaters in late 2026.
