Kartik Aryan was finalized only for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’
Mumbai: Pre-production of the third installment of the horror-comedy franchise ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ is underway. It was reported that acclaimed actress Tabu has left the film. However, there is very little truth in this as the only name to be finally selected in the cast list is that of Bollywood star Kartik Aryan.
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, released in 2022, was a huge commercial success. The film was directed by Anees Bazmee and was a sequel to Akshay Kumar’s 2007 film Bhool Bhulaiyaa.
Kartik played the role of Rooh Baba in the film’s sequel, which featured Tabu in dual roles.
Good sources shared that other talents will be roped in only after the script is finalised.
“Karthik Aryan as Rooh Baba is the only actor who has been confirmed and no other actors have been confirmed yet,” the source said.
It was also reported that Tabu was not keen on taking up the role offered to her despite being offered a huge amount of money, but the real picture is far from what has been claimed.
The source further mentioned, “After finalizing the story, they will bring the actors on board as per the demand of the script, currently some names of actors are under discussion which are not confirmed as we have not considered the actors yet Is.”
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ proved to be a huge commercial success and propelled Kartik to stardom.
Meanwhile, Kartik was last seen in ‘Satyprem Ki Katha’ which proved to be a hit at the box office. He will next be seen in Kabir Khan’s biographical film ‘Chandu Champion’. Apart from this, he is also doing a film with Karan Johar which will be directed by Sandeep Modi.
The yet-untitled epic war drama is expected to begin shooting in 2024.
On the other hand, Tabu was last seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s espionage thriller ‘Khufiya’. She will next be seen in ‘Aur Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ with Ajay Devgan and ‘The Crew’ with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon.
