Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#BhoolBhulaiyaa2 infuses oxygen in the lungs of an ailing industry...

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.
