The teaser for the highly anticipated film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ was unveiled on Friday, marking the dramatic return of Vidya Balan as the iconic character Manjulika. Directed by Anees Bazmee, who helmed the previous installment, this chapter also brings back Kartik Aaryan as Rooh Baba, the ghost hunter tasked with confronting the notorious Manjulika.

The teaser opens with the eerie melody of the haunting track “Ami Je Tomar,” signaling Vidya Balan’s long-awaited return to the franchise, after her standout performance in the original 2007 film. A key moment in the preview revisits one of the most chilling scenes from the first movie, where Manjulika lifts a bed with her bare hands. In this version, she lifts a heavy chair, her screams filled with rage as she fights to break free from her restraints.

Kartik Aaryan’s Rooh Baba makes a dramatic entrance, challenging the audience with the question, “Kya laga tha kahani khatam hogayi?” The teaser hints at an intense confrontation between Rooh Baba and Manjulika, with the latter struggling to escape her dungeon. The tension promises an electrifying battle between the two, setting the stage for a thrilling Diwali release.
