While no formal poster or teaser has been officially unveiled by T-Series yet, trade reports confirm that creative development is actively underway.
Key Details & Project Timeline
The Lead: Kartik Aaryan will reprise his iconic role as the quirky, fraud-turned-real exorcist Rooh Baba. The actor is reportedly participating in early script discussions alongside the writing team.
The Director's Chair: Having successfully steered the second and third entries to blockbuster status, Anees Bazmee is set to direct. Final financial and scheduling details are currently being ironed out between Bazmee and T-Series.
Production Schedule: Bazmee is presently wrapping up his upcoming comedy feature starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan. Once post-production on that project concludes, he will shift focus entirely to locked screenplay drafts for BB4.
Tentative Shoot Window: The makers are aiming to take Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 on the floors in the second half of 2027.
Ensemble & Creative Direction
While details regarding female leads and supporting cast remain guarded, director Anees Bazmee teased in earlier interviews that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 could feature a mix of returning franchise legends alongside brand-new faces who haven't appeared in the series before.
Given that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 brought back Vidya Balan alongside Madhuri Dixit, expectations are high for another star-studded ensemble balancing high-stakes jump scares with slapstick comedy.
Trade Verdict:
Extending the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise into a fourth chapter is a natural move for T-Series and Kartik Aaryan. Fresh off his National Film Award win for Chandu Champion, Aaryan returning to his most commercially bankable avatar as Rooh Baba—backed by Anees Bazmee's comedy directing style—gives the studio another high-yielding theatrical IP for the coming years.
