Recently, Bengali cinema star Jisshu Sengupta has dismissed comparisons between his upcoming film Bhoot Bangla and the popular franchise Bhool Bhulaiyaa, emphasising that the two projects differ significantly in both tone and storytelling.
In an exclusive interaction with IANS, the actor addressed the ongoing speculation, stating that audiences should watch the film before drawing parallels. He assured that Bhoot Bangla stands apart and does not resemble Bhool Bhulaiyaa in any way.
Highlighting the distinction further, Jisshu explained that Bhoot Bangla is firmly rooted in the horror-comedy genre, whereas Bhool Bhulaiyaa leans more towards a psychological thriller.
