Earlier
in
an
interview
with
Indian
Express,
director
Anees
Bazmee
opened
up
on
why
Akshay
Kumar
who
featured
in
the
2007
film
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
wasn't
a
part
of
the
second
installment
of
the
film.
He
said,
"Akshay
is
too
big
for
these
small
things.
Akshay
Kumar
cannot
be
replaced,
and
he
knows
that
he
is
not
replaced
in
this
film.
Akshay
has
a
great
body
of
work
over
25
years.
Akshay
is
doing
comedy,
he
is
dancing,
he
is
doing
action,
he
is
doing
everything,
he
is
getting
offered
the
kind
of
films
he
wants.
So,
it
is
a
very
small
thing
for
him
to
do
or
not
do
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2.
But
of
course,
if
he
was
in
our
film,
and
if
our
story
would
have
permitted
that,
then
I
am
sure
(he
would
have
done
it).
We
share
a
great
relationship
and
friendship.
I
had
directed
Mujhse
Shaadi
Karogi,
Welcome
and
Singh
Is
King
with
him.
We
share
a
great
rapport
and
I
would
love
to
work
with
him
again."
Besides
Kartik
Aaryan,
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2
also
features
Kaira
Advani,
Tabu
and
Rajpal
Yadav
in
pivotal
roles.
