It has been a decade since the movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa came into existence; it was a horror-comedy-franchise movie. Recently, Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan got together for a poster-shoot of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The actors were shooting for the third installment of the much-loved horror-comedy franchise. Both of them were seen dressed in all-black attires, and they looked nothing but stunning. The moment their pictures surfaced online, social media went berserk.
Kartik Aaryan’s Signature Look as Rooh Baba
Kartik Aaryan was seen playing the character of ghostbuster Rooh Baba in the earlier “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” movie, and here he was seen in his signature look, wearing a black kurta-dhoti, a similarly colored bandana, and with rudraksha beads around his neck. Fans exploded in praise and said, “Bhaisahab. this is the best collaboration in Horror Comedy, Bollywood definitely getting towards better days????????.”
The biggest highlight of “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” is the return of Vidya Balan as her iconic character of Manjulika from the original 2007 film. Vidya was seen draped in a black saree in leaked pictures, showing off her character’s spooky avatar. On seeing her back, fans went crazy; one user wrote, “Vidya ma’am in Black saree already giving me chills .”
Comparisons with ‘Stree 2’
As excitement for the sequel went high, fans immediately drew comparisons with the recently announced “Stree 2,” starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. A user shared, “Stree ka tod h yeah ????,” hinting at “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” becoming a bigger hit than the hit franchise “Stree.”
Anticipation for Akshay Kumar’s Cameo
While the reports of his joining Vidya and Kartik in the third installment have been denied by Akshay Kumar himself, who featured in the original “Bhool Bhulaiyaa,” fans are hoping he will make a special appearance. As one fan shared, “@akshaykumar special entry in #bhoolbhulaiyaa3 wil rock it @kartikaaryan #bhushankumar @aneesbazmee,” another request read, “Akshay Kumar sir ki entry honi chahiye isme ????????.”
Diwali Release and Marketing Campaign
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is all geared up for a Diwali release later this year, and plans are afloat to create a 45-day promotional activity just to tease the audience. If reports are to be believed, the post-production is going in full swing, and the first-look poster will be out in the forthcoming weeks. The script is touted to be the biggest in the franchise, with lots of Diwali elements promising an unforgettable experience in the horror-comedy genre.
Clash with Singham Again
“Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3”, will be clashing with Ajay Devgn’s “Singham Again” at the box office this Diwali. Reacting to the clash, director Anees Bazmee said, “Abhi aapse news aayi hai. Clashes are never a good idea. We had announced our release date for BB3 a year in advance. I don’t know kya karein abhi.”
The powerful on-screen presence of Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan, the return of iconic “Manjulika,” and the grand Diwali celebration-all these ingredients are there in place to make “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” one of the most awaited films this year. The first look poster and teasers are expected anytime soon to kickstart the marketing campaign for this highly anticipated horror-comedy extravaganza.
