Although both films include horror elements, he stressed that they're completely different stories.
Explaining differences, director said, 'Both are different films'
Priyadarshan explained that while Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a psychological thriller, Bhooth Bangla dives into Indian superstitions and ghostly rituals.
The new film stars Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, and Rajpal Yadav and releases on April 10, 2026.
Earlier, T-Series also denied rumors of script overlap
There were rumors that Bhooth Bangla was an early draft for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, but T-Series co-producer Shiv Chanana shot them down: "We have also come across some articles, but the fact is we have never received any script from Mr Priyadarshan or his team for making a Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise."
Both sequels are original T-Series projects with no crossover.
