After the positive reception of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 teaser, the makers have released a full trailer for the movie. While the teaser didn’t reveal Madhuri Dixit’s presence, the new Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 trailer not only gives us proper glimpses of her character but also pits her against Vidya Balan. Kartik Aaryan's Rooh Baba is left to wonder who the real Manjulika is between the two. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ Trailer: Vidya Balan or Madhuri Dixit – Who Is the Real Manjulika?

However, there’s another mystery to unravel in the trailer. Is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 set in the same universe as the 2007 film Welcome? Fans of the iconic comedy might have caught a funny Easter egg involving a very familiar painting in the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 trailer that connects this horror-comedy to the caper-comedy. Incidentally, both films are directed by Anees Bazmee.

So, which scene are we talking about?

ICYMI, Here's The Trailer of 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3':

The Scene's Connection With 'Welcome'

The 2007 movie Welcome had an ensemble cast featuring Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Mallika Sherawat, Paresh Rawal, and the late Feroz Khan. Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor played gangsters, Uday Shetty and Majnu Bhai, whose characters became cult icons in Bollywood. Majnu, when not threatening businessmen, fancies himself a painter, though his skills are laughable. His most 'iconic' painting, 'Rocking Horse', is of a dog standing on top of a horse—or is it a donkey? Whatever the case, this bizarre painting somehow makes its way into the world of Rooh Baba and his con game.

So, what does this scene imply? Is Welcome set in the same universe as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3? Or is it just a playful gag by the director, paying homage to his cult hit? Mysteriously, Majnu Bhai's 'sign' as 'Sagar' is missing in the 'Rocking Horse' painting shown in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which is replaced by 'AB'. Now who is AB?

Interestingly, both films share some of the same cast members, like Sanjay Mishra and Vijay Raaz. Coincidentally, the first Bhool Bhulaiyaa movie came out the same year as Welcome, and both had Akshay Kumar in the lead.
