There appears to be another interesting event a day after Kartik Aaryan welcomed “OG Manjulika” Vidya Balan to the third installment of their wildly popular horror comedy series Bhool Bhulaiyaa. According to a Mid-Day report, Madhuri Dixit has followed Vidya into the cast of Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
The report quotes a source stating, “The team felt another spirit would add to the narrative. So, it will be Rooh Baba versus the two ghosts played by Madhuri and Vidya. By bringing the two leading ladies together for the first time on screen, the makers have played a trump card.”
It also stated that the movie is anticipated to begin production in March. According to the same source, Sara Ali Khan, Kartik’s ex-girlfriend, would take Kiara Advani’s spot alongside him in the threequel. The conversations are still in their early stages, it stated. Nothing has been verified as of yet.
Vidya Balan, who played Manjulika in the psychological horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), is expected to make a comeback to the franchise.
Vidya was welcomed to the cast on Monday by Kartik Aaryan, who starred in the second part and will play a major role in the third. “And it is taking place. Og Manjulika is returning to the BhoolBhulaiyaa universe.Extremely happy to have @balanvidya here. “#BhoolBhulaiyaa3 @aneesbazmee @tseries.official #BhushanKumar will be crackling this Diwali,” he added.
Kartik also released an edited video that incorporated images of Kartik from the second installment with Vidya’s well-known Manjulika from the first installment.
The third segment will be directed by Anees Bazmee, who oversaw the second. Directed by Priyadarshan, Akshay Kumar and Vidya starred in the first segment. Kartik, Tabu, and Kiara Advani shared screen time in the second segment.
On expanding the franchise, producer Bhushan Kumar said, “The Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise holds a special place in our hearts, and I’m very happy to be taking it forward with a creative mind like Anees and an incredible talent like Kartik. Together, we are set to deliver a cinematic experience that will both honor the legacy of the franchise and bring double the laughter and thrill for the audience.”
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is slated to release this Diwali.
