How would you compare Bhool Bhulaiyaa Part 2 and 3? Same character, but how different?
There’s no comparison. It’s a new story that keeps the soul of the franchise intact. This time, we’ve brought even more entertainment. Rooh Baba is creating more laugh riots in different situations. Plus, there are new characters being introduced in the franchise, which adds to the intrigue.

What was it like working with the formidable Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan?
It was like a dream. They are truly among the finest actors and icons of Hindi cinema, and I learned so much from them. You know, people wait their entire careers for an opportunity to work with Madhuri ma’am and Vidya ma’am, and I got to work with them together in one film. It’s a milestone in my filmography. They’re so much fun to work with. When they were shooting the 'Ami Je Tomar' song, I would just be on set to watch them dance together. They’re magical.

Prior to this, you did an intense turn in Chandu Champion. Did the comedy help you unwind after the intense role?
In many ways, yes. Chandu Champion was a very intense character with a completely different shade that required a specific mindset. Then, stepping into Rooh Baba, who is a more humorous character, gave me a chance to step out of the intensity that I carried with me while playing Murlikant Petkar. But as an actor, having both these characters come out in the same year feels extremely satisfying and joyous.

I will start shooting for Anurag (Basu) sir’s film right after the release of BB3. It’s an intense love story, and I’m super excited to go on that journey. Anurag sir is one filmmaker I really look up to, and I can’t wait to work under his direction.
