Anvita Dutt reveals spooky stories from the sets of Bulbbul 

Almost three minutes 32 seconds into the video, Karnesh Sharma suggested Anvita Dutt reveal the spooky incidents they countered on the sets of Bulbbul. Anvita then narrated that while shooting for the supernatural portion in the forest, there was a tree that she named "the hero tree". On the first day of the shoot, she had asked the crew to wash off the rangoli made under that tree. 

However, just as they were about to do so, Anvita said that a villager came rushing towards them and said that a witch resided in the forest. The villagers also revealed that the tree belonged to her. Once a year, on a particularly auspicious day, they perform puja there. Apparently, just the day before Anvita had arrived to lock the location for a test shoot of Bulbbul, the villagers had performed the puja for the witch. She also said that whenever the leaves rustled on the tree, everybody including the actors looked at the tree frightened not minding that the cameras were still rolling.

Bulbbul is a crime thriller (words by Anvita Dutt) which is almost like a "fairytale" in the old sense of the term. The plot is based on a Zamindari family in pre-independent Bengal. Folklores and legends on witches and ghosts were abundant and one such supernatural creature haunted the house of the Zamindar family. Written and directed by Anvita Dutt, the movie casts Rahul Bose, Tripti Dimri, Avinash Tiwary, Parambrata Chatterjee, and Paoli Dam in important roles. Bulbbul will release on June 24, 2020.
