Akshay Kumar is preparing for the release of his upcoming movie ‘Bhooth Bangla’. Following several delays, the Priyadarshan-directed film is now slated to hit theaters on April 10. For context, it was pushed back due to the blockbuster run of ‘Dhurandhar 2’, officially known as ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’. In the lead-up to the premiere, Akshay made a visit to the famous Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.

Speaking about the devotional outing, the actor stated, “It was really good…I prayed for the entire country and my family. I prayed that may our country always excel and progress.”
