'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3': Is Madhuri Dixit Joining the Cast? Anees Bazmee Teases Surprises

The upcoming film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is raising the chills factor with its ever-expanding cast. After securing Triptii Dimri, the makers surprised fans by bringing back Vidya Balan, the iconic Manjulika from the 2007 film. Now, rumours swirl about the inclusion of another Bollywood heavyweight, Madhuri Dixit Nene.

Director Anees Bazmee Hints at More Cast Additions

While an official confirmation remains elusive, director Anees Bazmee has fueled the speculation. According to The Hindustan Times, Bazmee offered a cryptic response: "Whatever is going to happen, we will announce. Triptii and Vidya were announced, there are many more left. Some are being signed, with some talks are still on. We will announce it soon."

Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan: A Potential On-Screen First?

Adding to the intrigue, a source reportedly spoke to Mid-Day, claiming, "The team felt another spirit would add to the narrative. So, it will be Rooh Baba versus the two ghosts played by Madhuri and Vidya. By bringing the two leading ladies together for the first time on screen, the makers have played a trump card."

This potential casting coup would mark the first on-screen collaboration between Madhuri Dixit (5 Lesser Known Facts About The Eternal Diva) and Vidya Balan, two of Indian cinema's most celebrated actresses.

Meanwhile, fans can lay to rest any hopes of seeing Akshay Kumar reprise his role. Speaking to Zoom, Bazmee confirmed, "No, Akshay is not a part of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.’ I am dying to work with him, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to script a film where we could work together. In future, certainly yes."

After my surgery, the shoot was planned to start very soon, it was not looking possible. But when I am shooting, the pain is less. I have learnt how to operate it, so I do it soon and go around the set. We are shooting in Mumbai. I have two people to help me when I need to climb somewhere or get down."
