Madhuri Dixit, whose Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 releases next Friday, is doing a horror film after 33 years. Which is, ironically, the actual age of her co-star in Anees Bazmee’s comedy-horror Diwali release, the popular hero Kartik Aaryan. The Dhak-Dhak actress, Bollywood aficionados will remember, did the psychological thriller 100 Days in 1991, with Jackie Shroff opposite her. That was the year Kartik was born!

The film was a moderate success and Madhuri’s performance, especially a sensational dance number with Javed Jaffrey, was widely appreciated. Now, she returns to the horror-comedy genre with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 opposite Kartik and co-stars Vidya Balan and Tripti Dimri. While the third installment of the franchise is reason enough for audiences to want to go to the theaters, Madhuri’s presence gives the film an added edge. Does she dance in the Anees Bazmee directorial? Wait and see! Her character is an important one that takes the plot forward.
