This announcement has fans buzzing with anticipation, as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 promises to bring back the spooky charm that made the previous installments such a success. Vidya Balan, who played the iconic role of Manjulika in the original Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), and Triptii Dimri, also starring in this latest edition, shared the poster on social media, adding to the excitement.
A Brief History of Bhool Bhulaiyaa Series
The Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise began in 2007 with the original horror-comedy, starring Akshay Kumar as Aditya Srivastava, a psychiatrist trying to unravel the mystery of a haunted haveli. Vidya Balan’s portrayal of Manjulika/Avni, a woman suffering from dissociative identity disorder, earned her critical acclaim. The cast also included Shiney Ahuja, Amisha Patel, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and the late Vikram Gokhale in pivotal roles. The film was a major hit, blending horror, comedy, and drama.

What to Expect from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
The third installment, backed by Bhushan Kumar and directed by Anees Bazmee, promises to up the ante with an even spookier and funnier storyline. Vidya Balan’s return as Manjulika has fans intrigued, and the inclusion of Triptii Dimri adds a fresh dynamic to the film. Kartik Aaryan, as Rooh Baba, will once again step into the spotlight, ready to take on supernatural challenges.
This Diwali, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a Bollywood new release, will face stiff competition at the box office as it is set to clash with Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor. With both films boasting star-studded casts and massive fan followings, it promises to be an exciting time for Bollywood fans.
Fans’ Anticipation Peaks
With the teaser tagline, “Darwaza Khulega… Iss Diwali,” expectations for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are sky-high. The blend of supernatural thrills, humor, and Kartik Aaryan’s eccentric portrayal of Rooh Baba is likely to draw audiences back to the cinemas.
Mark your calendars, because this Diwali, it’s Rooh Baba versus Manjulika in a showdown that’s set to light up the big screen!
