Kartik Aaryan-starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was slightly ahead of Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again in pre-sales before the much-anticipated Diwali box-office clash on Friday, as per advance booking data with industry data-tracking portal Sacnilk.

Thanks to a longer pre-sales duration, Anees Bazmee’s horror-comedy held the edge over Rohit Shetty’s star-studded cop universe film. Tickets for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 were made available two-to-three days prior to Singham Again in some locations.
