Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan Reunite for 슬롯사이트˜Bhooth Bangla슬롯사이트�: From 슬롯사이트˜Hera Pheri슬롯사이트� to 슬롯사이트˜Khatta Meetha슬롯사이트�, Here슬롯사이트™s How Their Past Movies Have Fared at Box Office
Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar have worked in six movies in the past, and their last collaboration came out in 2010. So was box office a reason why the two avoided working with each other for 14 years? Find out!
On Akshay Kumar's 57th birthday, the superstar dropped a major surprise for fans by revealing the title and the first look poster of his upcoming horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla. Interestingly, this comes right after the blockbuster success of Amar Kaushik's Stree 2, where Akshay Kumar had a scene-stealing cameo. What's special about Bhooth Bangla is that he is reunited with director Priyadarshan for the horror-comedy, that's co-produced by Ektaa R Kapoor. It doesn't need to be said that Priyadarshan is one of the few directors who have made the best use of Akshay Kumar's comic timing on screen.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Bhooth Bangla슬롯사이트�: Akshay Kumar Reunites With Priyadarshan After 14 Years for New Horror-Comedy; Film To Arrive in 2025.
Bhooth Bangla marks the seventh collaboration between Akshay Kumar and the Malayalam filmmaker, who, in the past, has given us iconic movies like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. In fact, the 2007 movie슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bhool Bhulaiyaa is also the first horror-comedy that Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan have each done in Bollywood, and it was also their collab's biggest money-maker at the domestic box office (INR 49.10 crore in 2007 wasn't that bad).
So it makes sense that their reunion after 14 years would come by in the same genre, apart from the fact that horror-comedies are now the new favourite flavour of the audience after the super-successes of Munjya and Stree 2.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Stree 2슬롯사이트� Ending and Post-Credit Scenes Explained: Decoding How Akshay Kumar-Varun Dhawan슬롯사이트™s Cameos Set Up 슬롯사이트˜Stree 3슬롯사이트� and 슬롯사이트˜Vampires of Vijay Nagar슬롯사이트� in Maddock Supernatural Universe.
Below, we list all the movies directed by Priyadarshan that starred Akshay Kumar in the lead and how they fared at the box office.
1. Hera Pheri - Profitable
2. Garam Masala - Hit
3. Bhagam Bhag - Hit
4. Bhool Bhulaiyaa - Hit
5. De Dana Dan - Average
6. Khatta Meetha - Average
As you can see from the above, the combo of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan didn't have a pure flop per se. Even Khatta Meetha - the movie that people consider a box office 'disappointment' - was considered an average performer since it had earned INR슬롯 머신 사이트 추천38.66 crore out of a reported INR 23 crore budget. Perhaps it was the underwhelming response to슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Khatta Meetha, even from the fans and critics then, which might be a reason why Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar haven't worked with each other since 2010.
The 'Bhooth Bangla' Announcement
While Akshay Kumar has been delivering hits from that period (till he was cursed with a slew of flops post-2021), Priyadarshan has been struggling to either deliver a good film or a hit at the box office in Bollywood. Post Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the director has been seeing an underwhelming box office form in Hindi Cinema. Even if we consider De Dana Dan and Khatta Meetha as not 'flops', Priyadarshan had seen box office failures in슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Mere Baap Pehle Aap,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Billu,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Bumm Bumm Bole,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Aakrosh,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Tezz,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal and슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Rangrezz.
