Turns out even ghosts have scheduling conflicts! Sanjay Dutt has announced a new release date for The Bhootnii, his upcoming horror-comedy-romance mashup, now arriving in cinemas on May 1, 2025. Originally slated for April 18, the film's delay is likely a smart move to avoid a box office face-off with Kesari Chapter 2, which recently scooted into the same date after its own delay. You know what they say — ghosts may be scary, but release clashes are scarier.
In classic Dutt style, the actor dropped the news on social media with a cheeky caption: “Insaan mohabbat wali date fix kar sakta hai, bhootnii ke aane ki nahi...” Translation? You can schedule a romantic dinner, but not a ghost’s grand entrance. The newly revealed poster adds to the mystery, featuring a spooky silhouette, misty blues, and a tagline that screams, “Expect the unexpected.” Safe to say, this ghost isn’t showing up fashionably late — she’s showing up on her own supernatural terms.
The Bhootnii is directed by Sidhaant Sachdev and produced by Deepak Mukut and Sanjay Dutt himself. It brings together a delightfully oddball cast: Sanjay Dutt plays Baba, Mouni Roy takes on the role of Mohabbat, while Sunny Singh, Palak Tiwari, Aasif Khan, and Nick (of Beyounick fame) round out the quirky crew. With ghosts, giggles, and a touch of romance, the film promises a rollercoaster through the supernatural with just the right dose of desi madness.
So mark your calendars — or better yet, have a priest bless them — because The Bhootnii floats into theatres May 1. Whether you’re in it for the scares, the laughs, or just to see Sanjay Dutt talk to spirits in a dhoti, this one’s got "cult classic" written all over it (possibly in blood... or lipstick).
