Hoichoi is gearing up for its first horror comedy series, Bhootteriki, to be directed by Kaushik Hafizee, with actor Anirban Bhattacharya serving as the creative director. The series promises to explore the eerie yet humorous world of three ghostly women living in a historic Kolkata mansion.

Bhootteriki revolves around a film crew documenting the untold stories of these ghosts, who, despite their spectral existence, have tales to tell about love, loss and laughter. Each ghost, from a different era, adds a layer of mystery and mirth to the story, revealing how life after death can be as vibrant and surprising as mortal life itself. Hafizee has written the story, screenplay and dialogues for Bhootteriki.

The cast features Dipanwita Sarkar, Aishwarya Sen and Avery Singha Roy as the three ghosts. Sounak Kundu and Debraj Bhattacharya will play key roles in the series. Filming for the series began today in Dhanyakuria.

This is not the first time that Anirban Bhattacharya is serving as the creative director for a Hoichoi project. Arpan Garai-directed Talmar Romeo Juliet, which drops on Hoichoi this week, has Anirban as the creative director as did Atthoi, directed by Arna Mukhopadhyay. Anirban had previously earned rave review for his directorial debut Ballabhpurer Rupkotha.
