Actors Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, Tabu and Rajpal Yadav starrer film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ trailer has been liked by the audience but at the same time It is also being compared to the film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ released in 2007. Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan were in important roles in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ and the film was well received by the audience. In such a situation, now when the sequel of the film i.e. Bhool Bhulaiya 2 is being released, its comparison has also started, but director Anees Bazmee says that both the films are different.
Horror comedy ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’
Film director Anees Bazmee says that he wanted to make his upcoming film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 purely as a horror comedy, discarding the psychological thriller element of the original film to avoid any direct comparisons. . The 2007 hit film Bhool Bhulaiyaa, directed by Priyadarshan, featured Akshay Kumar as a psychiatrist who is tasked to find out the reason behind supernatural activities in a mansion.
Akshay Kumar’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa was a remake
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, a English remake of the 1993 Malayalam film ‘Manichirathaju’ starring Mohanlal, was screened as a horror comedy before turning into a psychological thriller. In the sequel (Bhool Bhulaiyaa-2), actor Kartik Aaryan will be seen in the role of Kumar, with Bazmee saying that he wants to turn things around. He says, “I was clear that I did not want to make a psychological thriller. If I had made it that way, it would have been a direct comparison. When you watch this movie, it will remind you of part one, but it’s not really the same.’
What does it mean to make a sequel?
Anees told ‘PTI-Bhasha’, ‘If I offer you the same film, then what is the point of making a sequel? My film is basically a horror comedy. You will keep getting glimpses of the same world but still you will be watching a new film. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ was also a remake. I didn’t have that privilege, that oh, here’s a superhit film, let’s remake it. This meant that we had to start from the beginning, work hard at the script level to make everything right.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 to release on May 20
Bazmee said, ‘I just had to concentrate to get this right. Since I had never made horror films, I was excited. It was a new field for me, a new challenge. Since my comedy films have been successful, people think that I can only make films in this genre. But I had to be in love. Has also made a romantic drama and thriller Deewangi. So I hope that after this film people will say that I can make horror films too. Let us tell you that ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa-2’ will be released in theaters on May 20.
