On Tuesday, April 26, the much awaited trailer for the horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, starring Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Tabu, was finally unveiled. The Anees Bazmee-directed film is a standalone sequel to Priyadarshan's cult hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which was released in 2007 and starred Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, and Shiney Ahuja.
The trailer has garnered a favorable response from the audience, with some praising Kartik's sense of humour as Rooh Baba in the film, while others missing Akshay Kumar's charm. Recently, during the trailer launch event, the Dhamaka (2021) actor spoke out about comparison to Akshay Kumar.
He said, "I can't compare because it's too big a shoe to fill. I had loved him (Akshay Kumar) in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1, and have grown up watching him. It's better not to compare, I love him as an actor. We have tried our best to do it our way. But this is a new film, lot of new elements. I hope people will love it in his own dynamic. Comparisons will happen, but I hope Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 will be remembered as a new film."
Meanwhile, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, Amar Upadhyay, Milind Gunaji, and Rajesh Sharma play significant roles in the film. Anees Bazmee directed the film, which was produced by T-Series and Cine 1 Studios' Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Anjum Khetani, and Krishan Kumar. The film is set to release on May 20, 2022.
