Mumbai, September 2025: Zee Bollywood, the 101% Shuddh Bollywood channel is all set to premiere the 101% spooky-yet-hilarious horror-comedy ‘The Bhootnii’ this Dusshera on October 2nd at 8 pm. Get ready to get your funny bones tickled and experience a chill down your spines as ‘The Bhootnii’ now brings its 101% wild chaos, eerie thrills and outrageous laughs to your living room.

Produced by Deepak Mukut of Soham Rockstar Entertainment and Sanjay Dutt of Three Dimension Motion Pictures and written and directed by Sidhaant Sachdev, The Bhootnii boasts a high-voltage cast led by Sanjay Dutt as a quirky ghostbuster with secrets of his own, Mouni Roy as the dangerously enchanting spirit Mohabbat, and Sunny Singh and Palak Tiwari as college students caught in the eye of this supernatural storm. The film also stars Aasif Khan and Nick (BeYouNick) in supporting roles.

Set in the haunted grounds of St. Vincent’s College, Delhi, where an old ghost and a cursed tree wreak havoc every Valentine’s Day, the story follows heartbroken student Shantanu (Sunny Singh), who accidentally awakens Mohabbat, a seductive ghost with a tragic backstory and a deadly obsession. As hallucinations, hauntings and mysterious deaths plague the campus, the eccentric Baba (Sanjay Dutt) enters the scene with his paranormal toolkit and a puzzling past.

With Mohabbat growing stronger by the day and Holika Dahan looming a night when she can claim souls forever, Shantanu must uncover what she truly wants. But the real twist? Baba might not be the savior he seems. Watch The Bhootnii airing on Zee Bollywood on Thursday, October 2nd at 8 pm.

Sanjay Dutt shared, “The Bhootnii was always meant to be a fun, quirky ride - a real clutter breaker. Unfortunately, it didn’t get enough screens during its theatrical release, and its run was shorter than we’d hoped for. Sometimes, some films get a bit lost amidst the noise. But this is a film made with a lot of love and care. We truly believed in the story and the heart behind it. I genuinely hope it connects with the audience”.

Mouni Roy said, “Portraying Mohabbat in The Bhootnii was a deeply exciting experience; she's mysterious, intense, and emotionally layered in such an intriguing way. It was a joy exploring her complexity, and I’m grateful for the overwhelming love she’s received since the theatrical release. Working with Sanjay Dutt sir was an honour he brings such ease and energy to the set. And heartfelt thanks to Sidhaant Sachdev for trusting me with this challenging and unconventional role. The Bhootnii truly has something for everyone: chills, laughs and a surprising amount of heart. I can’t wait for audiences to experience all of it”.

Sunny Singh shared, “Playing lead character Shantanu in The Bhootnii was an absolute rollercoaster. He's a regular guy caught in some seriously bizarre and spooky chaos. What I loved most was how the film mixes horror with humour without losing its emotional core. Working alongside a legend like Sanjay Dutt sir, the incredibly talented Mouni Roy and the very sweet Palak Tiwari made it even more memorable. Siddhant’s vision brought this mad world to life, and I’m thrilled that audiences can now experience all the laughs, chills, and twists from the comfort of their homes. Get ready, because this haunting comes with a side of madness!”.

Palak Tiwari said, “Playing Ananya in The Bhootnii was such an exciting experience she’s strong, curious, and finds herself caught in situations that are way beyond the ordinary. What I loved most was how the film balances emotion, suspense, and just the right touch of quirky horror. Shooting for it and working with Sanjay Dutt sir was an absolute honour. There's so much to learn just by being around his energy and presence on set. It was genuinely fun. We had a great vibe on set and a team that made every day memorable. This wouldn't have been possible without Sidhaant Sachdev Sir's guidance throughout the journey and for his belief in the story and in me. I can't wait for audiences to watch the film”.

Deepak Mukut of Soham Rockstar Entertainment said, "The Bhootnii is a mad, magical mix of chaos, comedy and chills and that’s exactly what makes it so special. From the very beginning, we wanted to create a world that felt unpredictable and larger-than-life, with characters you don’t meet every day. With Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, Sunny Singh, and Palak Tiwari at the centre of it all, the film became an unforgettable ride. Sidhaant Sachdev brought incredible energy and vision to this universe, and we’re thrilled that audiences can now enjoy it. Whether you missed it in theatres or want to relive the madness, this is one haunting you’ll enjoy from start to finish”.
