Post the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik Aaryan and the film's producer Bhushan Kumar paid a visit to Ganga Ghat in Varanasi. The actor later shared a bunch of pictures from their visit and captioned them as, "Blessed." According to sources, it was Kartik's mannat to visit the sacred city if his film fared well at the box office.

Previously while speaking with a leading daily, the actor had opened up on comparisons with Akshay Kumar who starred in the 2007 film Bhool Bhulaiyaa and said, "I think it would be a little extra on people's part if they are comparing me with Akshay. His body of work has been fabulous and so big. He's been a superstar ever since I started following him as a kid. I am inspired by that journey and the way he has created a niche among his audience. I don't think any comparison exists."
