In a recent tantalizing update for eager movie enthusiasts, Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan stirred the excitement around his latest venture—a film that promises to revive the enigmatic horror-comedy world of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa.’ On Tuesday, the star chose the comfortable informality of his Instagram stories to share a glimpse from the set of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. However, he playfully obscured his identity by cleverly positioning a cool emoji, donning sunglasses, over his face. The accompanying caption was a simple yet intriguing, “Shoot 1. #BhoolBhulaiyaa3.”
The photo adds to the rising anticipation among fans, who are primed for the release of the third installment in the successful franchise. Directed by Anees Bazmee, who previously steered the second installment to box office triumph, the upcoming film is charting its course to theaters for a Diwali 2024 premiere.
Vidya Balan, who impeccably portrayed the role of Manjulika in the original 2007 psychological horror-comedy, is set to make a return. Revealing Balan’s involvement, Kartik’s Instagram post radiated his excitement: “And its happening. Og Manjulika is coming back to the world of BhoolBhulaiyaa. Super thrilled to welcome @balanvidya. This Diwali is going to be crackling #BhoolBhulaiyaa3,” underlining the joyous homecoming of Balan’s character. Bazmee, responsible for the second part’s direction, returns to helm this eagerly awaited third film, while the first chapter was the brainchild of filmmaker Priyadarshan, featuring actor Akshay Kumar opposite Vidya.
Kartik Aaryan, no stranger to the franchise, had shared the screen with Tabu and Kiara Advani in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,’ which expanded the narrative universe of the film series. Now, with ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,’ the stage is set for yet another cinematic ride through the familiar yet unraveling orbits of suspense and laugher that the franchise is well-loved for.
Moreover, the ever-industrious Kartik is not one to find comfort in idle repose. His creative journey continues with another upcoming film – ‘Chandu Champion.’ Directed by Kabir Khan, the film flags off Kartik’s first collaboration with the renowned director and squares its focus on the incredible true story of a sportsman’s indomitable resolve and dedication. In what is set to be a dynamic portrayal, Kartik slips into the shoes of the titular character, Chandu, promising to deliver a performance rich with the depth and nuance characteristic of such inspirational tales.
But the pipeline of promises doesn’t end here. Kartik’s itinerary of characters flits from one intriguing role to another as he is also slated to appear in Hansal Mehta’s ‘Captain India’ and Anurag Basu’s ‘Aashiqui 3,’ marking his versatility and industry-wide trust in his capabilities as an actor.
