Just when you thought Manjulika’s story had wrapped up, Bollywood’s favorite horror-comedy franchise is gearing up for one more scare. Kartik Aaryan is reuniting with producer Bhushan Kumar for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4, with the film expected to go on floors in the second half of 2027.

What’s confirmed so far

According to a Pinkvilla exclusive, the script is currently being developed while the creative team brainstorms fresh directions for the story. Kartik will reprise his beloved role as Rooh Baba, and Bhushan Kumar is backing the project once again. The priority right now is locking a strong screenplay before a director is finalized.

Why this franchise keeps winning

The Bhool Bhulaiyaa series has quietly become one of Bollywood’s most bankable horror-comedy franchises, and Kartik’s transformation into Rooh Baba is a big reason why. If you want a refresher on how the actor built this legacy, this ranked list of his best performances is worth a look before BB4 rolls around.

With the makers taking their time on the script rather than rushing into production, expectations are already high that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 will match — or top — the success of its predecessors. An official announcement, including cast and director details, is expected once the screenplay is locked.
