Renowned Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit is set to mesmerize audiences in a novel role in the forthcoming film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. In a candid conversation with ANI, she discussed her motivations for taking on a part that is distinctly different from anything she has previously portrayed on screen. Directed by the famed Anees Bazmee, this film sees Madhuri venture into an unexplored dimension of her acting career.
Madhuri, who commands a significant fan base, expressed her enthusiasm about joining the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series under Bazmee’s expert direction. “This role is unlike any I’ve ever played,” she remarked, highlighting her eagerness to explore new aspects of her versatility as an actor. “It’s an opportunity to showcase a different side of myself, something that is both thrilling and exciting to me.” Praising Bazmee’s direction, she added, “Working with Anees is always a pleasure. Being part of such a talented cast, including Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan, truly enhanced the experience for me.”
Elaborating on the script’s appeal, Madhuri confessed, “I have always been an ardent fan of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise. Both the original film and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 were genuinely enjoyable,” said the actress. The script presented by Anees Bazmee captivated her interest immediately. “There’s a unique quality to this storyline that ensures it’s special—watching it unfold will make it clear. That excitement was a significant factor in my decision to be part of it,” she added.
Reflecting on her illustrious career, which began with her debut in the 1984 film ‘Abodh’ alongside the late Bengali actor Tapas Pal, Madhuri’s journey is one of perseverance and remarkable talent. Despite ‘Abodh’ not making waves at the box office, her performance garnered critical acclaim and set the stage for future successes. It was with the 1988 blockbuster ‘Tezaab’ that Madhuri truly became a household name, establishing her as one of Bollywood’s most beloved stars.
Her lauded performances in films like ‘Ram Lakhan’, ‘Parinda’, and ‘Khalnayak’ cemented her status.
. Equally noteworthy was her willingness to tackle diverse roles in films such as ‘Mrityudand’, where she explored themes of empowerment, often portraying strong women navigating complex realities. “I was lucky to have worked with some of the best directors and scripts,” Madhuri shared. “Roles that embodied feminine strength and resilience first drew me due to their impact and the positive message they conveyed. Films like ‘Mrityudand’ were considered unconventional, yet I believed in the power of storytelling beyond conventional norms.”
She continued to discuss how these choices mirrored her commitment to blurring the lines between mainstream and artistic cinema—a significant shift in the cinematic landscape. “At a time when making such a film in commercial cinema seemed unlikely, I took that bold step. Today, the focus is content-driven, which is a remarkable transformation. Every project now aims to resonate deeply with audiences, which is outstanding.”
Anticipation runs high as ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, directed by Bazmee and produced by Bhushan Kumar, gears up for its release. Continuing the franchise’s legacy of seamlessly blending horror and comedy, the film stars Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, and Triptii Dimri. Set to premiere on November 1, it is considered one of the most awaited Diwali releases this year. The film will, however, enter a competitive market, facing a head-to-head battle with Rohit Shetty’s action-packed ‘Singham Again’.
Madhuri shared her final thoughts, expressing hope that her new venture would not only thrill audiences but also provide a memorable cinematic experience. “I am truly excited for the Diwali release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and look forward to audiences enjoying every moment,” she said, with a sense of optimism that characterizes her enduring appeal.
