Mumbai: Bollywood sensation Kartik Aaryan has exciting news for his fans as he has officially reserved the Diwali season for the release of his much-anticipated film, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. On Wednesday, Aaryan took to Instagram to share a brand-new poster of the movie, definitively announcing its release date during the festive Diwali period. The actor captioned the post, “Darwaza Khulega… Iss Diwali #BhoolBhulaiyaa3,” generating considerable buzz among his followers.
This decision sets up a thrilling box office clash, as ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ will be competing head-to-head with Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’, another big-ticket release within the cop-universe franchise. Notably, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is part of a legacy that started with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar. This third installment retains the horror-comedy charm of the original, which also had Vidya Balan in a memorable role as Manjulika. The latest poster hints at a nod to the first film, which featured the ghostly Manjulika being locked away in a palace room.
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is the Hindi remake of the popular Malayalam film ‘Manichitrathazhu,’ directed by Fazil, the father of renowned Malayalam actor Fahadh Fazil. In the sequel ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, Kartik Aaryan captivated audiences as Rooh Baba, taking over the mantle from Akshay Kumar with a flair that was both refreshing and fitting for the franchise. While Kartik Aaryan romantically paired with Kiara Advani in the previous installment, this time, fans will see him starring opposite Triptii Dimri, known for her role in ‘Animal’.
Aaryan’s Instagram announcement not only shared the poster but also hinted at a film that promises to deliver the same blend of comedy and chills that made its predecessors hits. The poster itself evokes a sense of nostalgia paired with fresh excitement, teasing the release with the intriguing line, “Darwaza Khulega… Iss Diwali.”
Adding to the star power of the film, Bollywood icons Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit are also part of the cast. Balan, who played the original Manjulika, brings an added layer of continuity and excitement to the franchise. Madhuri Dixit’s involvement only heightens the anticipation, given her stature in the Indian film industry.
Earlier this year, Kartik Aaryan declared the conclusion of the film’s production with a post on Instagram. The actor shared a video where director Anees Bazmee playfully scolded the film’s unit, only to be shown Aaryan announcing the production wrap on a monitor.
. In a moment that underscored the camaraderie on set, Bazmee and Aaryan embraced before cutting a celebratory cake with the film’s crew. This glimpse behind the scenes highlighted the dynamic and positive environment within which ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ came to life.
Produced by T-Series Films and Cine1 Studios, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is strategically poised to capitalize on the festive season. Diwali, known for being a lucrative period for film releases in India, will see fans flocking to the theaters to watch the latest chapter in this beloved franchise. The timing of the release also sets the stage for a fascinating box office battle with ‘Singham Again’.
The legacy and expectations surrounding ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ are immense, with the original film having set high benchmarks. Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan’s performances in the original film garnered both critical acclaim and box office success, making it a tough act to follow. However, Kartik Aaryan, with his proven comedic timing and acting skills, along with a talented supporting cast, seems more than capable of meeting these expectations.
Looking ahead, the release of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ during Diwali is not just a cinematic event but a festive gift for Bollywood fans. The combination of nostalgia, horror, comedy, and a star-studded cast promises an entertaining experience. As Aaryan aptly put it, “Darwaza Khulega… Iss Diwali,” which translates to the door will open this Diwali, indicating that audiences are indeed in for a thrilling treat.
