Rajpal Yadav has expressed his belief that the 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' franchise still holds an incomplete narrative, and he is eager to see his character Chhota Pandit come face-to-face with the iconic Manjulika. The actor, who remains deeply associated with the horror-comedy series through his vibrant and memorable role, shared that the first film continues to resonate with him due to its psychological depth and Vidya Balan's stellar performance. He also elaborated on why he feels Chhota Pandit's journey has not yet reached its conclusion.

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, Rajpal reflected on the horror film that left a profound impression on him. He singled out 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' and recalled how the movie transcended typical scares. He said, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1, the psychological element in it, Vidya Balan in the first part, and of course I had a role in it." Rajpal noted that the film continues to surprise him even after multiple viewings. "But there were genuinely some things in that film, something current, that no matter how many times I watched it, and I have watched many films, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1 still feels like what people say, reel is illusion of reality," he added.

Rajpal then suggested that the franchise still has room for a storyline involving Chhota Pandit and Manjulika. "Even now, I feel Bhool Bhulaiyaa is still incomplete," he said. He explained, "Because only Pandit has seen Manjulika, Chhota Pandit saw her in the first part and has been roaming around colorful since then, but has still not met Manjulika." Rajpal added that a proper 'Chhota Pandit vs Manjulika' narrative could steer the franchise in a fresh direction. The actor was last seen in 'Bhooth Bangla' alongside Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. He will next appear in 'Welcome to the Jungle' and is reportedly part of Salman Khan's untitled film with Dil Raju.
