In 2008, Amitabh Bachchan played a cute and interesting ghost in Vivek Sharma's film Bhootnath, in which Shah Rukh Khan did a small cameo. Six years later, in 2014, Amitabh Bachchan returned to the franchise through Bhootnath Returns, which became a huge hit among the audience. Shah Rukh Khan also played a special role in this film. Now reports are coming that producer Bhushan Kumar and BR Films are preparing to make a new film on the Bhootnath franchise, which will be named Bhootnath 3.
According to reports, Bhootnath 3 is currently in the scripting stage, and it will be produced by Bhushan Kumar and BR Films. A source has informed that if everything goes well, the shooting of the film can start in 2025, and its release date will be decided next year. No official announcement has been made about the cast yet, but it is expected that both Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan will be a part of this film. While both the actors had earlier played small roles in the first and second parts, this time the makers are planning to see them in more important roles. However, it will all depend on the script of the film, and the final decision will be taken based on that.
A special aspect of the Bhootnath franchise is its perfect blend of horror and comedy, with a cute ghost as the main character who wins the hearts of the audience. This franchise is different from other horror-comedy films because here the ghost comes back for emotional and human reasons rather than to scare people.
Bhushan Kumar, who has created successful horror-comedy franchises like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, is hoping for success with Bhootnath 3 as well. According to sources, he is confident that there is a lot of potential to take this franchise forward. However, a lot still depends on the script and the makers are currently busy perfecting it. While an official announcement is awaited, this news is creating a new hope and excitement among the audience.
