After weeks of intense speculation, it’s official — this Diwali will witness one of the most significant box office clashes in recent memory. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again are set to hit theatres simultaneously, offering audiences two big cinematic experiences to choose from.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Teaser Sparks Excitement
The makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 confirmed the release of their horror-comedy just in time for the Diwali season, igniting buzz across social media. Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, and Triptii Dimri shared the film’s first look, featuring a padlocked door and the iconic number “3.” Accompanying the poster, the cast teased fans with the caption, “Darwaza Khulega… Iss Diwali #BhoolBhulaiyaa3 🤙🏻👻.”

While the exact release date has yet to be revealed, it’s expected that the film will debut during the first weekend of November, putting it in direct competition with Rohit Shetty’s much-anticipated Singham Again.
The Build-Up to the Big Diwali Clash
Reports had surfaced earlier about the possibility of the two films avoiding a clash. Allegedly, the producers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 reached out to Singham Again‘s team, requesting a delay in their release. At the same time, rumors swirled that Rohit Shetty’s team was considering postponing the release due to the recent success of Stree 2, which also falls within the horror-comedy genre. However, both production teams seem adamant about their respective Diwali releases, setting the stage for a major face-off.
