Talking about Kartik Aaryan playing the lead in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Anees Bazmee told Bollywood Hungama, “We’ve finalised Kartik for the lead in the Bhool Bhulaiya sequel. I feel he has tremendous aptitude for comedy. At the same time he can look most vulnerable and almost childlike on screen just like Akshay Kumar.” With regards to other actors roped in for the film he further said, “I am yet to sit down with my producers Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani to decide on the rest of the cast and crew. But I can tell you this. My Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 would be done in my style.”

Anees Bazmee has directed films such as No Entry, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng, Mubarakan, and many others.
