Actors Akshay Kumar and Tabu recently took fans down memory lane as they spoke about their long standing friendship during the trailer launch of their upcoming film Bhooth Bangla. While many people remember seeing them together in the 1996 film Tu Chor Main Sipahi, their connection actually began many years before that.
Akshay shared that he has known Tabu for almost 39 years. He recalled how both of them used to attend a dance academy when they were young and still learning. Back then, life was simple and far from the glamour of the film industry. Tabu added a sweet and personal touch to the story by revealing that Akshay would often pick her up on his bike for their classes. This small but meaningful memory gave fans a glimpse into their early bond and how their friendship grew naturally over time.
During the event, Tabu was asked if Akshay has changed over the years. She responded with a smile, saying that he is still exactly the same person. According to her, Akshay continues to wake up very early every day and follow a disciplined routine. She joked that he still gives advice about what to eat and what to avoid, just like he did years ago. Tabu also mentioned that filmmaker Priyadarshan, with whom she has worked in several films, has remained just as consistent in his approach.
Over the years, Akshay and Tabu have appeared together in films like Hera Pheri, a comedy loved by audiences even today. Now, after a long gap of 26 years, they are reuniting for Bhooth Bangla, which has already created a lot of excitement among fans.
The film features a strong supporting cast including Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Mithila Palkar. It is scheduled to release in theatres on April 17, with special preview shows starting a day earlier.
Bhooth Bangla tells the story of a man who inherits a haunted house and tries to sell it. The story takes an interesting turn when he plans his wedding in a village where people avoid marriage due to fear of a mysterious evil force. The film blends horror and comedy, making it an entertaining watch for a wide audience.
While some fans feel the film brings back Akshay’s classic comedy style, others think it reminds them of his earlier work. Still, the real life friendship between Akshay Kumar and Tabu remains the biggest highlight that fans are excited to see on screen once again.
