Will Akshay Kumar be seen in the next instalment of Bhool Bhulaiyaa? Anees Bazmee has the reply!

What started off as a dream, has now been converted into a reality and how! We are indeed talking about the dream franchise of the hit film Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which starred Akshay Kumar in the first part. After the grand success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the film’s makers went on to make Bhool Bhulaiyaa’s second part, which again, turned out to be a grand success. This time round, all the eyes are now trained on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which is all set to be released on November 1.

Before the release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, there were many who felt that Kartik Aaryan would not be able to fill in the shoes of Akshay Kumar in the film and would find it difficult to carry forward the legacy of the film. But, the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has changed many an equation. There were still many who felt that it will be Akshay Kumar, the OG star of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, who can do a great job.

That’s why many feel that, Bhool Bhulaiyaa’s next instalment should star Akshay Kumar in the leading role. In an interview with Bombay Times, the film’s director Anees Bazmee said "Maybe in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4’. Saying that, he laughed.

While on the topic of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Anees Bazmee said that (in the same interview), "Kartik Aaryan, too, was looking forward to the sequel. I was excited with the idea, but I wanted to crack the perfect plot for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. I am not the kind who simply jumps onto the bandwagon...ek film achchi bani toh chalo dusri banate hai to capitalise on the film's title”.

In the same breath, he added, "In the final story, I could see scope for a lot of drama, emotions, and comedy and I could visualize shooting it on a larger-than-life scale”.

As for the film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, besides Kartik Aaryan, it also stars an ensemble cast of Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri… the film also stars the likes of seasoned actors including Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar and Rajesh Sharma. While the film has been directed by Anees Bazmee, it has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Murad Khetani.
