The Bhootnii announcement video

On Wednesday, Sohum Rockstar Entertainment took to Instagram to share the announcement video of The Bhootnii. The video begins with a powerful voiceover by Sanjay Dutt as the footage focuses on spirits and a haunted tree. It also shows Sunny Singh screaming to get back his love (Palak Tiwari) from a supernatural being (Mouni Roy). However, what caught everyone’s attention was Sanjay’s look at the end—he was seen holding two swords, ready to fight spirits.

The video ends with the text, “Bhootnii machayegi taandav 18th April 2025.” The caption below the video reads, “Get ready for a rollercoaster of horror, romance, and comedy like never before! Presenting ‘The Bhootnii,’ where love, laughter, and supernatural thrills come together in the most unexpected way!”
