Directed by Anees Bazmee, who also directed the second installment of the horror-comedy film series, the upcoming film features an ensemble cast including Vidya Balan and Triptii Dimri alongside Kartik Aaryan. The makers recently revealed that Vidya, who starred in the first film alongside Akshay Kumar, will return as the pivotal character Manjulika in the third installment of the franchise. Kartik, who led ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ alongside Kiara Advani and Tabu, will reprise his role as the popular Rooh Baba.

The 2007 film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, directed by Priyadarshan, proved to be a blockbuster, earning 82 crores against a production budget of 32 crores. Over time, the film has established itself as a cult classic within the horror-comedy genre, with Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan receiving significant acclaim for their roles. The film focused on Avni Chaturvedi (Vidya Balan), a woman grappling with dissociative identity disorder.

The second installment, released in 2022, also proved highly successful, emerging as one of the highest-grossing films of the year with 266 crores in sales against a budget of 70 crores. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ centered on an entrapped spirit seeking revenge.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is scheduled to hit theaters on November 1 in celebration of Diwali. There are also rumors that Madhuri Dixit will be part of the upcoming release.
