Bhoothnath 3 in Development: T-Series and BR Films Set to Bring Back Beloved Ghost for 2026 Release

The makers are crafting a fresh storyline with plans to reunite Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, aiming for a family-friendly horror-comedy that captures the hearts of audiences once again.

T-Series and BR Films have teamed up to develop Bhoothnath 3, bringing the beloved ghostly character back for another thrilling adventure. According to insiders, the third installment is set to go into production in 2025, aiming for a 2026 release. “The script work has begun, and the team is enthusiastic about the core idea they’ve developed for Bhoothnath 3,” a source close to the project revealed to Pinkvilla.

The insider added that while casting is still underway, the producers hope to bring back iconic stars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, who both appeared in the previous Bhoothnath films. Though Shah Rukh had limited screen time in the first two movies, the producers are exploring ways to feature him more prominently, depending on the final screenplay. The current priority remains finalizing the story, with a director set to join once the script is complete.

The Bhoothnath series stands out in the horror-comedy genre, featuring a friendly ghost who returns with heartfelt intentions rather than fearsome motives. “What sets Bhoothnath apart is the endearing spirit that resonates with audiences, especially kids. The goal is to keep building a franchise where this lovable ghost becomes a family favorite,” the source concluded.
