The Anees Bazmee-directorial horror-comedy “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,” which starred Kartik Aaryan along with Kiara Advani and Tabu, is one of the most successful Hindi films of the year. The production venture of Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani has completed 50 days of its theatrical release with a collection of around Rs 185 crore in India alone, and a total of Rs 250 crore worldwide. As per the latest information, the makers of Tamil and Telugu industries have shown keen interest in remaking “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” in the respective languages.
According to the information, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is one of the biggest hits of Bollywood this year, which has not only done well but also garnered appreciation from the audience. Horror-comedy is a very popular genre in the Tamil and Telugu film industries, which often does not manage to buzz the fund registers. But, let you know that, the southern industry mastered this thing long before the Hindi film industry and seeing the popularity of the genre, many filmmakers are looking to remake Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in Tamil and Telugu.”
The information further added, “They haven’t decided yet to whom they will sell the rights. Many discussions are going on. One of the producers wants Anees Bazmee to direct the film in Telugu with a top name so that the taste remains intact. The original and a variety of talks are going on with many filmmakers for it.”
Interestingly, the first part of “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” was a remake of the Tamil film “Chandramukhi,” which itself was a remake of a Malayalam film called “Manichitrathazhu.” This time around, it seems that if all the paperwork and other aspects fall into one place, then things will turn on the other side.
Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan is currently shooting for the Rohit Dhawan-directed “Shehzada,” which is gearing up for release in November. He also has an untitled project from Sajid Nadadiwala Productions in his bag. It is worth noting that Anees Bazmee is currently working on “No Entry 2,” and with this, is also planning to make a film for both Varun Dhawan and Shahid Kapoor.
