Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 stars Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan met young fans at Delhi Public School Megacity on Monday during a promotional event in Kolkata for their upcoming horror comedy, which also stars Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit.
"3 Days to Go #BhoolBhulaiyaa3. Kolkata Truly The City Of Joy," Kartik wrote, sharing a video on Instagram on Tuesday.
The video shows Kartik greeting fans at the airport before heading to the school in Kolkata’s Newtown. Students express their admiration for the actor, who joins them in performing the hook step to the title track of the upcoming horror comedy. They dance together to the beats of the foot-tapping number sung by Pitbull, Diljit Dosanjh and Neeraj Shridhar. Kartik also invites fans to watch Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 in Bengali in the video.
The video ends with Kartik and Vidya standing atop a yellow taxi on Kolkata’s iconic Howrah Bridge, waving to the fans gathered there.
Another video shared by Kartik on Monday captured the students’ excitement for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, slated to hit theatres on November 1 on the occasion of Diwali.
“Ami Tomai Khub Bhalobashi Kolkata. #CityOfJoy #BhoolBhulaiyaa3 4 days to go,” reads the actor’s caption to the post.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will clash at the box office with Ajay Devgn's Singham Again, the fifth film in Rohit Shetty’s cinematic cop universe. The ensemble cast of Singham Again includes Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and Jackie Shroff.
