Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to hit theatres on November 1, and Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan are raising the excitement with some thrilling promotions. The duo recently stopped in Kolkata & recreated the iconic “Rooh Baba vs Manjulika” showdown for fans.
Standing atop Kolkata’s famous yellow taxi on the Howrah Bridge, Kartik and Vidya gave the crowd an electrifying taste of their on-screen chemistry.
After promoting the film in Mumbai, Kartik and Vidya arrived in Kolkata for their final leg. On October 28, they captured the city’s attention, standing on top of a yellow cab on Howrah Bridge.
Fans gathered below, eagerly snapping photos and videos. Dressed as Manjulika, Vidya channelled her spooky character, playfully gripping Kartik’s neck. Kartik, as Rooh Baba, matched her intensity, creating a memorable scene for onlookers.
Sharing photos from the day on their Instagram, they wrote, “The fight gets more intense as they reach their home ground – Iconic Howrah Bridge, Kolkata.”

Vidya Balan On Rejecting Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2
For fans of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series, Vidya’s return as Manjulika is a major highlight. The actor, who first played Manjulika in the 2007 original, chose not to join last year’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, where Kartik took the lead.
Reflecting on this, Vidya shared, “I’ll tell you, the only reason (why) I didn’t do 2 (Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2)…” She continued, “I wanted to work on Bhool Bhulaiyaa again, (but) I was so scared because Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1 has given me so much.” She admitted that she feared “messing things up” and preferred not to risk it at the time.
But when Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 came her way, Vidya was thrilled. “When they came back to me with 3, I loved the script, I was dying to work on this with Anees bhai and Bhushan, and then it only kept getting better,” she explained. She also expressed gratitude to producer Bhushan Kumar for inviting her back.
With a smile, she joked, “I would possess Bhushan (laughs). Thank you for bringing it to me.”
Returning to the franchise after 17 years, Vidya hopes this film resonates with audiences as much as the first. “In these 17 years, Bhool Bhulaiyaa earned me a lot of love and here’s hoping that part 3 does the same for the next 17 years,” she shared.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 features an exciting cast lineup, with Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit joining Kartik and Vidya in key roles. Fans are eagerly awaiting this next chapter in the beloved horror-comedy series.
