How do you better a film that has remained immensely popular over the years? You retain its essence, when you are making its sequel. The makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 stuck to this cardinal rule while giving shape to the Kartik Aaryan, Tabu and Kiara Advani-starrer. The leading man is ecstatic that the horror comedy, which was in the making for nearly two years due to the pandemic, is ready for the marquee. “We shot for 15 days in Lucknow and Jaipur in March 2020. Suddenly, the crew of 300 was told to stop work because a lockdown was being imposed. We packed up and left in a day because cities were getting sealed,” recounts the actor, adding that they were concerned about the film’s fate at the time.
