Is Amitabh Bachchan set to make a comeback as everyone’s favourite ghost in Bhoothnath 3? If recent reports are true, fans of the beloved franchise have a lot to look forward to. There’s growing excitement that a new chapter in the series could be on its way.
Bhoothnath 3 In Works
Nearly ten years later, there are reports of a third instalment. According to industry insiders, T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar is collaborating with BR Films to bring Bhoothnath back on the big screen.
A source close to the project revealed to Pinkvilla, “Bhoothnath 3 is in the development stage at the moment, and the producers are toying with the idea of bringing Bhoothnath back to the spectacle. If everything goes as planned, Bhoothnath 3 will go on floors in 2025, for a 2026 release. The script work has begun and the makers are happy with the germ that they have for Bhoothnath 3.”
Will Amitabh Bachchan & Shah Rukh Khan Reunite For 3rd Instalment?
The source also hinted that Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan might return. “While part one and two had a cameo of Shah Rukh Khan, the makers are aiming at bigger goals for the third instalment, though everything will boil down to the script eventually. It’s too early in the day to discuss casting, as the makers are presently focusing on getting the script right,” they shared.
At the moment, the priority is to perfect the script before finalising the director. If Bhoothnath 3 gets the green light, it will be Bhushan Kumar’s second dive into the horror-comedy genre, following the huge success of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series.
The producer believes there’s plenty of potential to grow the Bhoothnath franchise. “What separates Bhoothnath from all other horror comedies is the fact that the ghost in Bhoothnath is lovable and comes back for a personal reason. The idea is to create a franchise where the part of the ghost is loved by one and all, especially the kids,” the source concluded.
About Bhoothnath Franchise
Bhoothnath first charmed audiences in 2008 under the direction of Vivek Sharma. Amitabh Bachchan’s portrayal of a friendly ghost won hearts, especially with Shah Rukh Khan making a surprise cameo that delighted fans.
Then, in 2014, the sequel, Bhoothnath Returns, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, brought Big B back for another ghostly adventure, with SRK appearing once more. The sequel kept the magic alive, turning Bhoothnath into a promising franchise.
