Penned by Aakash Kaushik, and backed by T-Series Films and Cine1 Studios, the drama is the third installment of the popular franchise after "Bhool Bhulaiyaa", which released in 2007, and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2", which came out in 2022.

"Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3" shares the journey of Ruhaan Randhawa, also known as Rooh Baba (Played by Kartik Aaryan), who is a con artist pretending to be an exorcist.

The story is set in 1824, where Manjulika, the daughter of the Maharaja of Rakhtghat, is wrongfully killed and has now returned as a vengeful spirit.

In 2024, Ruhaan is asked to capture Manjulika's spirit, leading to some heartbreaking revelations of betrayal.
