If you thought Vidya Balan was done haunting your nightmares as Manjulika, think again. It has officially been confirmed that the famed star, who sent shivers down the audience's spines with her eerie portrayal of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa antagonist, is reprising her role in the franchise. Kartik Aaryan, who essayed Ruhaan Randhawa a.k.a Rooh Baba in the 2022 sequel, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, took to his official X account to share the news. The actor attached a video of the bone-chilling song from the first offering, with Vidya essaying Manjulika. "And it's happening," he stated alongside, adding the fire emoji. He continued to add, "OG Manjulika is coming back to the world of Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Super thrilled to welcome Vidya Balan. This Diwali is going to be crackling." With his choice of hashtags, the actor also confirmed that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was officially in the works, eyeing a Diwali release.

While Tabu's take on the notorious supernatural being had its moments, one simply cannot forget just how terrifying Vidya's Manjulika was. Paired with Ami Je Tomar, the haunting images come swirling back for anyone who's seen the first film. It is thus that fans took to rejoice that the OG was indeed back. "I'm sat for Vidya and Vidya only," said one fan. However, many took offence to the fact that Kartik was welcoming Vidya into a franchise that is evidently marked by her unforgettable performance. i'm sat for vidya and vidya only https://t.co/TSUtLyCv9a pic.twitter.com/dfPmWPYN7M — mahiiii🦋 (@buttitsgoldenn) February 13, 2024 "Now he is going to welcome Vidya?" questioned one X user sarcastically. "'So thrilled to welcome Vidya Bala,'" mocked another, continuing to state, "You're in her franchise, she isn't in yours."
