This morning, the poster of the show was launched and in its first glance, you’ll notice the striking similarity between Akshay Kumar and Kartik Aaryan in the movie’s trademark sadhu look. The film is currently in the works and will hit the theatres on July 31, 2020.  Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Is Happening! Will Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan Be a Part of This Sequel?

In three looks of Kartik that were revealed, Kartik is seen sitting on a couch just like Akshay, while in the other two, he is seen standing and then posing like no one’s watching while lying on some skulls.

The movie will also see Akshay Kumar make a surprise cameo appearance. However, if Akshay will be reprising his role of the psychologist Aditya Srivastav or not, is something the audience will have to look forward to. Meanwhile, the increasing buzz surrounding Kartik’s leading lady says that in all probability, it will be the actor’s rumoured ladylove Sara Ali Khan, who will be seen in the flick. It can also be noted that the sequel’s poster has been unveiled exactly 13 years after the first movie, uncanny coincidence… eh??
