Ghosts can be funny when they set to out scare the kids, and can be serious when they set out to right the wrong and teach the bad guys a lesson. Amitabh Bachchan does all that and more in the upcoming film Bhoothnath Returns.
The megastar is the butt of jokes as Bhoothnath in the afterworld because he wasn’t able to scare a kid on earth in the first movie Bhoothnath. So in this sequel he’s sent back to the world of the mortals to scare as many kids as possible to clear his name and earn his stripes as a ghost.
But what happens back on earth? “Yaar, yeh bhoot itna funny kyon hota hai!” kids wonder when Bhoothnath yet again fails to scare them.
Kids unperturbed, Bhoothnath finds a purpose for his earthly visit when he sees a corrupt politician (Boman Irani) who thinks “election toh circus ki tarah hota hai”. Guess what happens next? Bhoothnath decides to fight the election against this corrupt man and teach him a good lesson or two in the process.
OMG! When Amitabh Bachchan bit the dust!
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Bhoothnath Returns has Amitabh Bachchan not just doing comedy but also showing some of his signature dance steps. The film will also have special appearances from Ranbir Kapoor and Shahrukh Khan.
Bhoothnath Returns is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Renu Ravi Chopra. The film is presented by T-series and B R Chopra. It is slated to release on April 11, 2014.
