Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s director Anees Bazmee has confirmed that Vidya Balan will repeat her role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Speaking to Mid-Day, Anees called Manjulika his “favourite character” and said, “If the movie is Bhool Bhulaiyaa, she has to be there in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.” However, when asked for extra details, the director added, “Let the rest be a surprise!”
Last year, Vidya Balan had denied that she was part of the film. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, when the actor was asked if she was offered Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, she said, “Let’s simply say I am now not in the film. So, I am no longer going to say anything extra.”
The director says the sequel differs from the original in tone in order to differentiate the two films. In a separate interaction with Mid-Day, he explained, “If we make any other psychological thriller, there will be too many comparisons with the first edition. We have upped the ante in horror. There is no buffoonery, we’ve opt situational comedy instead. And Kartik is extraordinarily natural and comfortable at comedy
The film was supposed to release on July 31 2020 but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 epidemic. The film will be released on March 25 2022. The lead cast of the film include Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and Tabu.”
