The excitement for the much-anticipated film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ reached a fever pitch with the release of its teaser on Friday.

This new chapter sees the return of the beloved character Manjulika, played by Vidya Balan, marking her dramatic comeback to the franchise since the original film debuted in 2007.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, who successfully helmed the previous installment, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ continues the story of Rooh Baba, portrayed by Kartik Aaryan. In the ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ teaser, we see Rooh Baba once again face off against the vengeful Manjulika.

The teaser opens with the chilling melodies of ‘Ami Je Tomar,’ instantly transporting viewers back into the eerie atmosphere of the franchise. A nod to one of the original film’s most iconic moments is evident when Manjulika, in a display of her supernatural strength, lifts a heavy chair in a fit of rage, echoing her earlier act of lifting a bed with ease.

A pivotal moment in the teaser features Kartik Aaryan’s character, who dramatically questions, ‘Kya Laga tha kahani Khatam hogayi?’ (Did you think the story was over?).
