Anvita recalled, "So we were shooting in the forest, for the fairytale part, for the supernatural mystery part. There was one particular tree, which I called the hero tree. and under that tree, there was a rangoli. So I said ‘just make sure it’s cleaned up for us when we come’, and from the corner of my eye I saw some villagers running and they said that in that forest there’s a ‘chudail’ (witch). And this is her tree,"
So, the villagers conduct a pooja annually under that tree. And this time, it happened to be right around the film's shooting. "Every time there was a rustling in the trees, even the actors would look frightened," Anvita added.

From the first trailer, Bulbbul looks very impressive. It reminds you a little of Anushka's film Pari, which is so underrated. Pari also explored fantastical elements more than the horror.
