Mumbai: As the anticipation for the next installment of Bhool Bhulaiyaa mounts, Bollywood sensation Kartik Aaryan has taken the internet by storm with a lively and humorous video as part of the promotion for his forthcoming film, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. The entertainment powerhouse shared the clip on his Instagram, creatively reimagining a timeless moment from the film canon of the legendary Shah Rukh Khan and his iconic movie, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ).
In this irresistibly comedic Instagram reel shared on Friday, Kartik Aaryan devises his version of the memorable DDLJ train sequence, but with a spine-chilling twist. As he approaches a train, the actor humorously calls upon Manjulika, the notorious spirit from the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series. Suddenly, in an unexpected twist, Vidya Balan, reprising her role as Manjulika, lunges for Kartik, grabbing him by the throat before embarking on the train.
Adding a playful touch, Kartik captioned the post, “Manju – 1 Rooh Baba – 0 I took a train to not be scared of turbulence. But the turbulence decided to come along #RoohBabaVsManjulika This Diwali. #BhoolBhulaiyaa3”. These light-hearted promotions underscore the film’s fun and playful approach to what is expected to be another hit chapter in the horror-comedy franchise.
For the uninitiated, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is a continuation in a series that first captured audiences with its unique blend of horror and comedy—a genre made unforgettable by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar’s iconic portrayal in the inaugural film. This latest chapter is more than just a sequel; it’s a fresh rendition of the ‘Manichitrathazhu,’ a classic Malayalam film directed by Fazil, celebrated father of Malayalam actor Fahadh Fazil. With Kartik Aaryan having inherited the lead role from Kumar in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, he resumes his portrayal of the quirky and beloved character, Rooh Baba.

The countdown to the film’s release in Diwali of this year is heating up not just because of the franchise’s devoted following, but also due to an impending box office showdown of epic proportions. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ premieres on the same day as ‘Singham Again,’ a much-anticipated multi-starrer film by the renowned director Rohit Shetty.

The simultaneous release has set tongues wagging, speculating which film will draw larger crowds and achieve greater box office success.
Behind the rollercoaster of suspense and laughter, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ assures to retain its heart, thanks to the production talents of T-Series Films and Cine1 Studios. Their collaboration assures audiences of another spellbinding journey through haunted palaces and comedic adventures, all laced with a healthy dose of Bollywood magic.
