‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, which was released this Diwali, is performing well at the box office. In a recent interview, producer Bhushan Kumar teased the possibility of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4’, expressing interest in bringing back Akshay Kumar, who starred in the first film, and Kiara Advani, who was part of the second. The third installment features Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Tripti Dimri, and Madhuri Dixit.
Bhushan Kumar shared with India Today that the decision to make a fourth film depends on the story. He said, "It all depends on the story. Bringing everyone together only makes sense if there’s a strong, solid story."
Pinkvilla previously reported that T-Series is working on several projects, including ‘Dhamaal 4’, which will begin production in 2025. Additionally, ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh 2’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4’ are also in the works, with Kartik Aaryan leading both.
Filmmaker Anees Bazmee, who directed both Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and 3, spoke about the pressure of making the fourth installment, acknowledging, "It will be a huge responsibility, as Part 4 will be directly compared to the first, second, and third parts. It won't be easy for anyone, including me."
The ABP Live of the review reads: The film starts off slow, and the humour feels forced, almost irritating, but it picks up with the entry of Madhuri Dixit, bringing new life to the screen. The second half especially shines with an entertaining mix of nostalgia and suspense. Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit breathe energy into the narrative, and while the comedy isn’t as punchy as hoped, the story’s twists and moral message manage to engage. Kartik’s character feels repetitive initially, as though he’s repeating beats from the previous film, but he surprises in the end, wrapping up the story on a strong note.
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ marks the third installment in the horror-comedy franchise, originally directed by Priyadarshan in 2007 and led by Akshay Kumar as a ghostbuster. Kartik Aaryan took on the lead role as Rooh Baba in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ (2022), and Vidya Balan reprises her iconic role of Manjulika in this latest film, directed by Anees Bazmee.
