Haunted 3D: Ghosts of the Past

Haunted 3D: Ghosts of the Past — Release Date: 12 Junw, 2026.
Directed by Vikram Bhatt, starring Mahaakshay Chakraborty (Mimoh Chakraborty), Chetna Pande, Gaurav Bajpai, Hemant Pandey, Shruti Prakash, and Praneet Bhat. Produced by Anand Pandit, Javed Khan King, and Shwetambari Bhatt, with Mahesh Bhatt serving as presenter, the film is a Hindi-language supernatural horror positioned as a spiritual sequel to Haunted – 3D (2011).

The narrative centres on a couple who relocate to a secluded mansion, unaware of the property’s troubled past. As they begin settling into their new surroundings, unexplained disturbances and apparitions suggest the presence of former inhabitants whose unresolved histories continue to linger within the walls of the house. Gradually, the mansion reveals itself as a space shaped by trauma, secrets, and violent memory, drawing the couple into a cycle of supernatural encounters that test their psychological and emotional limits.

True to Vikram Bhatt’s established horror grammar, the film employs a haunted-house framework that foregrounds atmosphere, dread, and revelation over overt spectacle. The story unfolds through escalating manifestations of the past, where the spirits encountered are not merely antagonistic presences but extensions of buried events seeking acknowledgement. The narrative structure links contemporary characters to historical wrongdoing, using fear as a conduit for uncovering suppressed truths.

The film continues the Haunted franchise’s association with stereoscopic presentation, designed to enhance spatial tension and immersive scare design. Performances are structured around vulnerability and fear-driven reaction, allowing the supernatural elements to dominate the emotional register. Supporting characters contribute to the gradual exposition of the mansion’s legacy, reinforcing the film’s emphasis on backstory and revelation.

Produced under the banners of Anand Pandit Motion Pictures and ASA Productions and Enterprises, the project marks another collaboration between Vikram Bhatt and the Bhatts following earlier horror ventures. Principal revisions and refinements were undertaken during production to align the film’s visual treatment with its atmospheric intentions, resulting in a final theatrical version prepared for late January release.

Positioned within the tradition of Hindi supernatural cinema, Haunted 3D: Ghosts of the Past aims to revisit familiar genre terrain while extending the thematic continuity of its predecessor. The film situates fear within memory and space, presenting the haunted mansion as both a physical location and a repository of unresolved past lives.
