While we know that the sequel to Bhool Bhulaiyaa stars Kartika Aaryan and Kiara Advani in the lead, according to latest reports, Tabu has also now joined the cast. The shooting for the film is expected to begin in Jaipur from Friday onwards. The film, directed by Anees Bazmee, will recreate two songs from its prequel. The title song ‘Hare Ram Hare Ram’ and ‘Mere Dholna Sun… Ami Je Tomar’ will feature in the new film. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is scheduled to release on 31 July 2020. This sequel comes 13 years after the first Bhool Bhulaiyaa was released.
This film will mark the second comedy-horror of Tabu’s career, the first one being Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 2, which released in 2017. Tabu was seen playing the role of Anna Matthew in the film.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film, Manichitrathazhu (1993), released in 2007. The Akshay Kumar-starrer also featured Vidya Balan and Shiney Ahuja in the lead while Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Ameesha Patel played supporting roles. Vidya and Shiney played an NRI couple, Avni and Siddharth, who come to India and reside in a centuries-old family mansion, which the locals believe is haunted. Akshay Kumar plays the role of an exorcist and is called upon to free Avni from the evil spirit of Manjulika, a courtesan who committed suicide when a king, riddled with jealousy, beheaded her lover.
Rajpal Yadav will also be returning for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ in a new role.
Bhool Bhulaiya 2 stars Kartik Aaryan in the lead. The Love Aaj Kal actor had taken to social media to share his first look from the film. Captioning the poster, Kartik wrote, “Ghostbuster is all set to enter. Hare Ram Hare Ram. Hare Krishna Hare Ram.#Bhoolbhulaiyaa2.”
