Reacting to Mithila's post, Kalyani Priyadarshan replied in the comments and kept it simple. She said she only told her father that she is a fan of Mithila and did nothing more.

She wrote, "Listen! All I told my dad was that I'm a fan! I didn't do anything more And I can't wait to see you in the film! "

In 'Bhooth Bangla', Mithila will be seen playing Akshay Kumar's sister. The recently released trailer has received a good response from viewers, with many enjoying its fun and nostalgic feel.

The film is directed by Priyadarshan and marks his reunion with Akshay Kumar after 14 years. It is produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under Balaji Motion Pictures, along with Akshay Kumar's Cape of Good Films.

The film features Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Mithila Palkar, Rajesh Sharma, and the late Asrani.

'Bhooth Bangla' will have paid previews starting April 16 from 9 pm, followed by its full release in theatres on April 17, 2026. (ANI)
