Filmmaker
Anees
Bazmee
and
superstar
Akshay
Kumar
have
teamed
up
for
many
successful
films
like
Welcome
and
Singh
Is
Kinng
in
the
past.
Therefore,
fans
were
a
bit
surprised
when
Anees
cast
Kartik
Aaryan
in
his
upcoming
horror
comedy
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2
instead
of
Akshay
Kumar
who
starred
in
the
first
installment
of
the
film.
In
his
recent
interaction
with
Bollywood
Life,
Anees
explained
the
reason
behind
the
same.
On
being
asked
if
he
approached
Akshay
for
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2,
the
director
revealed,
"When
you
will
watch
the
film
you
will
understand
that
the
script
didn't
allow
me
(to
approach
Akshay).
It's
a
totally
new
film,
and
if
I
would
have
cast
him,
I
would
have
to
start
the
film
from
where
the
last
one
ended.
But,
that's
not
there,
it's
a
completely
new
story,
and
when
we
decided
to
make
it."
He
went
on
to
reveal
that
he
always
had
Kartik
Aaryan,
Kiara
Advani
and
Tabu
in
his
mind
when
he
wrote
the
script
of
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2.
Bazmee
said
that
he
feels
lucky
that
the
trio
got
excited
after
hearing
the
narration
and
agreed
to
do
the
film.
Anees
also
opened
up
on
the
possibility
of
working
with
Akshay
in
the
future
and
said,
"When
it
comes
to
Akshay
ji,
everyone
knows
he
is
a
star
and
he
is
a
great
actor,
and
I
would
love
to
work
with
him
again
and
again.
We
are
friends
and
we
have
made
such
good
films
like
Welcome
and
Singh
Is
Kinng,
so
if
there's
something
else
we
will
definitely
team
up."
In
the
same
interview,
the
filmmaker
also
mentioned
that
the
climax
of
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2
will
shock
the
audience
and
that
it
has
been
shot
and
choreographed
beautifully.
