They are expected to take a holy dip or 'shahi snan' at the 'sangam' point on the incredibly auspicious Mauni Amavasya on February 10. Touted as the busiest day in the Maha Kumbh, more than 10 crore people are expected, which hasn't deterred the celebrity trio and the Balaji team.

As the city will be sealed off on Feb 9 and 10, Emraan and Huma will reach Allahabad as early as Feb 8, and engage in a series of innovative activities to promote the keenly awaited supernatural thriller. The team will reside in specially constructed tents on the banks of the Ganga, amid tight security.

Emraan who has been running against time to complete his Indian projects to start his international project with Danis Tanovic, has nonetheless taken out 3 days from his hectic schedule to be a part of this mega event.

Ek Thi Daayan releases worldwide on April 18.
