Vidya Balan played the OG Manjulika in the 2007 horror comedy starring Akshay Kumar, Shiny Ahuja, that is a remake of 1993 Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu.

Sparking much excitement, the trailer of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was unveiled earlier this week that not only features Kartik Aaryan reprising his character of Rooh Baba but will also mark the return of the OG Manjulika, played by Vidya Balan.

The extensive fan following of Vidya Balan are aware of the hilarious content the actress likes to share with her social media fam. Keeping up with the spooky theme of the film, Vidya shared a video of her holding a skeleton face with her famous song ‘Ami Je Tomar’ playing in the background. The video was captioned with the lines, “Gade murde ukadne ka waqt aa gaya hai phir se... 17 saal baad... aa rahi hoon main... aamhi Manjulika!!! (It is time to dig the grave once again…. 17 Years later… I am back… I am Manjulika!!!).”

Furthermore, the actress also captioned the video saying, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa released on 12th October 2007 and who knew that 17 years later it would be the gift that keeps on giving…that I’d still be called Monjulika wherever I go… and that all these years later, I’d get a chance to reprise the role that has given me so much!” “Thank you Monjulika Thank you Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Thank you all for all your love, today and everyday” she added.
