New Delhi: The eagerly awaited Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has stirred the cinematic world following the release of its trailer, confirming its place as one of the most anticipated films of the year. Since its debut, the trailer hasn’t just captivated the audience but has set new records by amassing over 155 million views in just 24 hours, marking it as the most-watched trailer to date. This unparalleled response has set the tone for an electrifying reception ahead for one of Bollywood’s favorite horror-comedy franchises.
As anticipation surges, a fascinating snippet from the film’s production has become the talk of the town. Director Anees Bazmee has astonished fans and production team alike with his unconventional strategy of shooting two different climaxes for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. This move was kept so secretive that even the cast was left in suspense, unaware of how the film concludes. In a candid conversation with India TV, Bazmee explained, “Audiences are going to be caught off guard, thinking ‘oh my god!’ We aimed to craft a film that is both entertaining and aesthetically pleasing. To bring that vision to life, we went to the lengths of shooting two climaxes. The twist is that not even the production team knows which ending will be utilized.”
This adds an intriguing layer to the upcoming cinematic experience. The trailer features the beloved return of Kartik Aaryan as Rooh Baba, with Vidya Balan reprising her iconic role as Manjulika. The sparks are set to fly as Rooh Baba crosses paths with Manjulika, ensuring a thrilling narrative. Joining them are stars like Triptii Dimri, Madhuri Dixit, and Rajpal Yadav, each adding their own flair to this star-studded ensemble.
Bazmee’s strategy to maintain the suspense extended to his cast, who have only had a glimpse of the movie leading up to the pre-climax. “Only three others and I know the real finale,” Bazmee disclosed.
. “We filmed two endings, and the crew was in the dark about the reasoning behind it. We completed the original climax but I later gathered the crew again, saying, ‘It doesn’t feel exciting enough, let’s do it once more.’ That was just a ploy to ensure that the ending remained a mystery even to them.”
In a bold move, the last fifteen pages of the script were withheld from the actors to sustain the enigma. Bazmee’s strategy aimed not only at keeping the audience guessing but also engaging the performers themselves in the mystery. Shooting both endings, Bazmee permitted only a handful of trusted crew members to be present, further safeguarding the secret conclusion.
With Kartik Aaryan returning as Rooh Baba, following the colossal success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, audiences can look forward to an enticing cinematic journey coupled with fresh faces like Triptii Dimri and the evergreen talents of Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit. Under Bazmee’s direction and the production helm of Bhushan Kumar, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 promises to further the legacy of Bollywood’s cherished horror-comedy series.
