  • The producers have not announced the change, so the new date and trailer timing remain unconfirmed.
  • Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar reunite after 14 years for a fantasy-leaning horror comedy that they stress is different from the psychological tone of Bhool Bhulaiyaa.
  • The cast features Tabu, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav, with one of the late Asrani’s final on-screen turns highlighted by the team in promotions.
  • Rajpal Yadav, who recently spent time in Tihar Jail in a long-running cheque-bounce case and is now on bail, is promoting the film as Akshay Kumar says he advised him against producing movies.
