Kiara Advani reveals why she signed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 with Kartik Aaryan even though she’s not a horror movie fan

After winning hearts with her performance in Shershaah opposite Sidharth Malhotra , the gorgeous Kiara Advani is all set to share the screen with Kartik Aaryan in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Also starring Tabu in a pivotal role, the horror comedy is a spiritual sequel to Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan ’s 2007 cult classic. By the looks of the trailer, the infamous spirit of Manjulika will posses Kiara’s character this time while desi ghost buster Kartik will refuse to take her seriously.

Well, in a recent chat with Mid Day Kiara revealed that Bhool Bhulaiyaa was the first horror film she ever watched in a cinema. She shared, “So I’m not a horror movie fan, because I get spooked out very easily. So I decided that if I choose a horror film, it has to be the right film that has horror and comedy and I don’t see a woman sleep at night in my room and all.” So what made her say yes to the sequel? Kiara explained, “So that’s why Bhool Bhulaiyaa clicked and naturally it was a cult film. Even today when you watch it, it’s so fresh. Having to take this franchise forward, it was a no-brainer yes.”

The actress shared that she felt the story was new and fresh when director Anees Bazmee called her and narrated the script. While the film is completely different from the original, the makers have kept the essence of Bhool Bhulaiyaa in part 2-- such as the title track, the song Ami Je Tomar and the name of the spirit. Well, we can’t wait to see how Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 turns out when it arrives in theatres on 20th May.
