Recently, he also spoke about continuing the shoot despite the leg injury. “One could say I shot the film sitting on one leg. The injury occurred just a week or ten days before filming began.” Despite doctors advising him to rest for 4 to 6 months, Bazmee decided to proceed with the scheduled shooting to meet the announced Diwali release date. “If I had delayed shooting, we would have missed the date,” he said in a statement shared by his team.

Talking about the film, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, helmed by Anees Bazmee, the film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Murad Khetani, starring Triptii Dimri alongside Kartik.

The makers earlier unveiled the highly anticipated teaser for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, marking the return of Vidya Balan as the iconic character Manjulika.

The teaser opens with the haunting notes of “Ami Je Tomar,” heralding Vidya’s dramatic return to the franchise after her memorable performance in the original film released in 2007. The preview showcases a nod to one of the first film’s most chilling scenes, where Manjulika lifted a bed with her bare hands. In this instalment, she is seen lifting a heavy chair, screaming with intensity as she tries to break free from her confines.

Kartik Aaryan’s character, Rooh Baba, makes a dramatic entrance, questioning, “Kya Laga tha kahani Khatam hogayi?”

The teaser offers a glimpse of an enraged Manjulika striving to escape from her dungeon, setting the stage for a thrilling confrontation.

Prior to the teaser release, the filmmakers teased fans with an intriguing poster depicting a haunted palace and silhouettes of ghosts overtaking a dark sky.

Set to release during the Diwali festival in 2024, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ promises to deliver a blend of psychological horror and comedy that the franchise is known for.

Kartik Aaryan expressed his excitement about Balan’s return, stating on Instagram, “And it’s happening. OG Manjulika is coming back to the world of BhoolBhulaiyaa.

Super thrilled to welcome @balanvidya. This Diwali is going to be crackling! #BhoolBhulaiyaa3.”
