JioHotstar has unveiled the trailer for Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot, a new horror-comedy adventure starring Asha Negi and Vishal Vashishtha. The 40-episode series premieres on September 11, with four episodes set to arrive every Friday.
Set against the backdrop of Central Indian folklore, the series brings together two characters with completely opposite views of the supernatural. While one relies entirely on science, the other has complete faith in ghosts and paranormal forces.
Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot Trailer: What Is The Series About?
Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot revolves around an unlikely partnership formed when a strange supernatural mystery pulls two very different people into the same investigation.
Asha Negi plays Alisha “Ali” Nigam, a neuropsychology expert who approaches unusual events through logic and scientific reasoning. She does not easily accept supernatural explanations and prefers to find rational answers.
Her worldview is challenged when she crosses paths with Babarao “Baba” Deshmukh, played by Vishal Vashishtha.
Baba is a small-town police officer who has no trouble believing in ghosts, spirits and supernatural happenings. His faith in the paranormal puts him almost completely at odds with Ali.
Asha Negi And Vishal Vashishtha’s Characters Could Drive The Show
The central conflict between Ali and Baba gives the series its comic and mystery elements.
Alisha “Ali” Nigam
- Played by Asha Negi
- A neuropsychology expert
- Strong believer in science and logic
- Looks for rational explanations behind unusual events
Babarao “Baba” Deshmukh
- Played by Vishal Vashishtha
- A small-town police officer
- Believes in ghosts and supernatural forces
- Approaches mysterious events from a completely different perspective
Their contrasting personalities are expected to create plenty of humorous situations while they investigate the larger mystery.
What Mystery Brings Ali And Baba Together?
The story takes the duo into a mystery with roots stretching back centuries.
As they become increasingly involved, their conflicting beliefs become less important than the need to solve the mystery in front of them. Ali must confront events that challenge her scientific worldview, while Baba finds himself working alongside someone who questions almost everything he believes.
The series combines this central mystery with elements of folklore, adventure and comedy.
Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot Release Date And Episode Schedule
JioHotstar has planned the show as a longer-format streaming series.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Title | Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot |

| Episodes | 40 |
| OTT Platform | JioHotstar |

The weekly release strategy gives the show room to build its mystery over several weeks instead of dropping the entire story at once.
Why Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot Stands Out
The show’s biggest hook is its combination of seemingly opposing genres.
It is not positioned as a straight horror series. Instead, the supernatural mystery is being mixed with comedy, adventure and folklore.
The science-versus-supernatural setup also gives the story a natural source of conflict. Ali’s rational approach and Baba’s belief in ghosts can lead to disagreements while also allowing both characters to contribute different perspectives to the investigation.
The Central Indian folklore backdrop further gives the series a distinct setting for its supernatural world.
Asha Negi Returns With A Different Kind Of Role
Asha Negi has appeared in several television and streaming projects, but Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot puts her in a character-driven supernatural mystery where science becomes an important part of the story.
Her character’s refusal to accept paranormal explanations could make Ali particularly interesting as the mystery becomes increasingly difficult to explain through conventional logic.
Vishal Vashishtha, meanwhile, takes on a character whose beliefs sit at the opposite end of the spectrum.
The contrast between the two leads is likely to remain at the heart of the series.
What To Expect From Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot
The series brings together:
- A science-versus-supernatural central conflict
- Elements of Central Indian folklore
- A centuries-old mystery
- Horror and supernatural situations
- Comedy arising from the contrasting leads
- Adventure and investigation
- A 40-episode story released weekly
For viewers looking for something that combines supernatural storytelling with lighter entertainment, the series offers a different take on the horror-comedy format.
