He decides to get his sister married at the isolated mansion. However, their father, Dr Vasudev Acharya (Jisshu Sengupta) is unaware of this plan. When he learns about Arjun and Meera’s visit to Mangalpur, he warns them to drop the idea of making their ancestral property the venue for the wedding.

Bhooth Bangla sequel

A source close to the film told India Today that, given the love and response that Bhooth Bangla has received from families, the makers are definitely looking into taking the franchise forward. "It’s an exciting space, and thus a sequel looks very much on the cards," a source close shared. While talks with Priyadarshan are in their early stages, producer Ekta Kapoor is keen on the horror-comedy space, and would love to revisit with more stories, the source added. Bhooth Bangla ends with a cliffhanger. A day before its official release, the makers of Bhooth Bangla organised paid previews. According to Sacnilk, Bhooth Bangla’s paid previews collection was Rs 3.50 crore. Due to limited screens and competition from Dhurandhar 2, the early collection was decent. In the past, Stree 2 earned Rs 9 crore through paid previews, whereas Dhurandhar 2 did a business of Rs 43 crore. Other films, such as Chennai Express, earned around Rs 6 crore.
