Akshay Kumar is not part of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Director confirms
In a recent interview with Zoom, Anees Bazmee quashed the rumors about Akshay Kumar’s participation in the highly anticipated Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The director expressed his enthusiasm to collaborate with Kumar in the future. However, he clarified that the script of this particular installment didn’t align with them this time around.
He stated, “No, Akshay is not a part of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. I am dying to work with him, but unfortunately, I have not been able to script a film where we could work together. In future, certainly yes.”
This confirmation settles the speculation, providing clarity on Akshay Kumar’s role, or the lack thereof, in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Despite this, Bazmee’s optimism about future collaborations with the renowned actor adds an element of anticipation for fans eagerly awaiting a potential reunion.
Contrary to Akshay Kumar’s absence, Vidya Balan has stepped into the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 cast, joining Kartik Aaryan. Moreover, Kartik made the official announcement of Balan joining the cast by sharing an edited video featuring the duo performing “Ami Je Tomar.”
The caption read, “And it’s happening. Og Manjulika is coming back to the world of Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Super thrilled to welcome @vidya_balan. This Diwali is going to be crackling #BhoolBhulaiyaa3.”
Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the 2007 horror-comedy classic, left an inedible mark with its plot, cast, and performances. Furthermore, the success of the original film led to a sequel in 2022 featuring Kartik Aaryan, Tabu, and Kiara Advani.
