The trailer of Bhoot Bangla was launched on April 6, 2026. It has generated a lot of buzz on social media for its nostalgic appeal. The film marks the reunion of Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar, who is known for delivering popular comedies. It also brings together the familiar comic trio of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav. Now, in an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Mithila Palkar, who plays Akshay Kumar’s sister in the film, reveals how she recreated the iconic ‘sister is scared’ meme, making it one of the highlights of the trailer.
Mithila Palkar on recreating the ‘Behen Darr Gayi’ meme with Akshay Kumar
Revealing the behind-the-scenes insight into recreating the popular meme of ‘Behen Darr Gayi’, Palkar shared, "The ‘sister got scared’ joke was not part of the script. Akshay sir and I had done several takes for the scene, and during the last take, Akshay sir went to Priyadarshan sir behind the camera and had a private conversation, which none of us on the set knew about. When the camera started and I spoke my dialogue, I was completely surprised when Akshay sir reacted with the hilarious ‘Behen Dar Gayi’ dialogue."
The actress further said, "While the improvisation made me nervous, I tried my best and kept a straight face as the scene demanded, and didn’t give up at the funny moment. It was only after Priyan sir said cut that I learned that the OG Bhagam Bhag duo of Akshay sir and Priyan sir had made the decision off-camera to fit their iconic dialogue seamlessly into the scene. It was really a learning moment for me as an actor to see this kind of situational comedy, in which the meme seamlessly fit into the scene."
Palkar and Kalyani Priyadarshan’s sweet social media joke
Mithila recently took to her Instagram to share a lesser known fact about her casting in the film. The actress shared that she was cast in the film because of the recommendation of Priyadarshan’s daughter Kalyani Priyadarshan. Mithila wrote on social media, "An opportunity I had never imagined for myself. I am very grateful to @kalyanpriyadarshan, without whom the seed of this idea would not have been sown! A girl’s girl. And Priyan Sir, thank you for your trust! I can’t tell you how priceless it feels to be a part of your film world! Always grateful! And to our viewers – lots of love to the trailer! Oops! Thank you! Can’t wait for you guys to see the movie." Responding to Mithila, Kalyani wrote, "Hear! I just told my dad I’m a fan! I didn’t do anything else. And I can’t wait to see you in the movie!"
