This Diwali is shaping up to be a treat for Bollywood fans as two blockbuster films are set to hit theatres on November 1. With Kartik Aaryan’s much-awaited horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Ajay Devgn’s action-packed Singham Again sharing the release date, audiences are eagerly anticipating an exciting box office clash. However, Kartik Aaryan downplayed the idea of competition between the two films during a recent press conference.
“Two Films Can Coexist Comfortably”: Kartik Aaryan
Addressing the potential box office rivalry, Kartik Aaryan emphasized that he does not see the two films as competitors. He confidently expressed that both movies belong to different genres, which makes it possible for them to perform well side by side.
“Two films can easily coexist. Singham Again is an action genre, while our film is a horror comedy,” said Kartik, highlighting the diversity of entertainment that the films bring to the table.
The actor further explained that releasing two big films during Diwali offers audiences more choices, which is becoming increasingly rare in today’s industry. “As a moviegoer, this is a festival for all of us. We have two options, which is becoming quite rare nowadays.,” he added.
Kartik’s Appreciation for Singham Again
Kartik also praised Singham Again and expressed his excitement about watching the film himself. “I like their film too, and I will go to see it. I hope you will also watch ours,” he said with a smile.
Dispelling the notion of a rivalry, the actor shared his belief that there is enough room for both films to thrive. “There’s plenty of scope for both films to succeed, so I don’t think it’s a versus between both the films,” Kartik remarked.
Star-Studded Casts Promise a Power-Packed Diwali
The two films boast stellar casts, adding to the excitement around their releases. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 features Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, and Triptii Dimri in pivotal roles, continuing the franchise’s legacy of blending horror with humor. On the other hand, Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty, stars Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Akshay Kumar, promising high-octane action and drama.
Diwali: A Box Office Festival

Diwali has always been a prime time for Bollywood releases, and with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again offering distinct genres—horror-comedy and action, respectively—movie lovers have a lot to look forward to. Whether it’s Kartik Aaryan’s spooky laughter-filled ride or Ajay Devgn’s action-packed spectacle, one thing is certain—this Diwali will be memorable for Bollywood fans.
