The highly anticipated horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, directed by Anees Bazmee stars Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Tabu in lead roles. The trailer of the film was launched today in Mumbai and introduces us to key characters of Kartik’s Rooh Baba and Kiara’s Reet. We also meet the calm and composed Tabu and Rajpal Yadav reprising the role of Chhote Pandit.

However, the makers have maintained that the second part is a completely new film with a new approach.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Trailer Launch: Kartik Aaryan on being compared with Akshay Kumar- “It’s too big a shoe to fill in”

While the makers have opted for a completely new approach while taking forward the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, one cannot forget the performance of Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan in the first part. Therefore, comparisons between Akshay Kumar and Kartik Aaryan are also inevitable. At the trailer launch, talking about the comparison with Akshay, Kartik said, “I can't compare with him. It's too big a shoe to fill in. I had loved him in Bhool Bhuliayaa. I have grown up watching him, we all have. So, it's better if we do not do that comparison. I love him as an actor. The title and some other elements from that world are nostalgia-inducing but apart from that we have attempted a completely new approach. I hope people will love the world we have created in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Hope people remember Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 as a completely new film.
