"It's a great responsibility to take his franchise forward"
Coincidentally, Bhool Bhulaiyaa happens to be one of Kartik's "favorite comedic supernatural thriller films."

He, meanwhile, has assured that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is backed with a "hilarious script" for the audience, just like the original blockbuster.

On the other hand, the film's producer Bhushan Kumar expressed his excitement, and said, "I had been eagerly waiting to make a sequel to Bhool Bhulaiyaa for the longest time." Notably, unlike the first installment (which was directed by Priyadarshan), this will be helmed by Anees Bazmee, known for No Entry, Welcome, etc. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 will be releasing on July 31, 2020.
