Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: Anees Bazmee reveals why he cast Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani & Tabu in his horror comedy

There are various things in a film which attract the audience to theatres-- theme, story-line, filmmaker who has helmed the project, how great the trailer turned out. But one of the most important features is the star cast! Well, this is one reason that left most fans super excited for Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. For the very first time we will witness Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and Tabu together on the silver screen when Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 hits theatres on 25^th March 2022. But how did this stunning cast come to be?

Well, in a chat with Mid Day, Bazmee revealed how he decided on the star cast. He shared, “The star cast is completely new and Kartik Aaryan is someone whose work I had liked since his first film. If I like someone’s work, it doesn’t matter if the person knows me or not, I find their phone number and congratulate them. He was happy that ‘Anees bhai ka phone aaya.’ So we have always had that equation. We would meet at parties, at other times we would be shooting at London at the same time... so we would hang out at coffee shops. He loved the script of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.”

Talking about the beautiful ladies, the filmmaker stated, “I had watched a lot of films featuring Kiara Advani, she is a good actress, although we had considered a lot of actresses for the part. Finally, we approached Kiara and she immediately agreed. Tabu and I had been wanting to work together since a long time, but we never got an opportunity. All three of them have done a wonderful job.”

Bazmee also revealed that while Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa was a psychological thriller his upcoming film, a spiritual sequel, is a horror comedy.
