Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: Anees Bazmee Explains Why Shoot Of Kartik Aaryan Starrer Has Been Put On Hold

After lots of speculation about when the team of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 will resume shooting, Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani finally took their horror comedy back on floors in February. They reportedly shot for a song in Manali and then continued the shoot for the Anees Bazmee directorial in Mumbai, where they were joined by their co-star Tabu. Sadly, the shoot came to an abrupt halt when Kartik tested positive for coronavirus. Well, it has been a week since he recovered and completed his two week quarantine, but the shoot has not resumed yet.

In a chat with Mid Day, the director revealed the reason behind the delay. He shared, “I am waiting because there are reports of the lockdown being extended, and rumours of a complete lockdown in Mumbai. So, we are unable to plan anything. Kartik is so kind. He has told us, ‘Whenever you decide to shoot, I am ready.’ All actors involved have been cooperative.” The filmmaker went on to share that in March a set was built for the second last schedule at a Powai studio. However, it was dismantled when Kartik contracted coronavirus.

He shared, “Now, we’ll have to rebuild it before we resume shooting. But if the lockdown [is imposed] after our set is ready, it will be a heavy loss for the producers, so we might as well wait it out.” Well, we sincerely hope things work out for the team. Currently reports are suggesting that a 15 day lockdown may be imposed in Maharashtra. Let’s wait and watch what happens.
