Speaking about the project, a source close to the makers says, “The lead cast of Laila Majnu, Avinash Tiwary and Tripti Dimri have been brought on board for Bulbul. In fact, the cast has already wrapped up the project. Since the project will be a horror venture, we cannot reveal many details but we can tell you that it is set in a haunted village.” Reportedly, Bulbul will be a period drama set in a vibrant atmosphere amidst age-old beliefs and superstitions. It will tell us the story of Satya and his brother’s child bride who gets separated after Satya is sent to school in England. After he returns, he finds out that Bulbul has been abandoned by his brother and has been serving the people of the village.
