Get ready to laugh and scream at the same time again with Bhool Bhulaiyaa’s sequel
| |||
It's raining sequels in Bollywood these days and the latest film to join the bandwagon is Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan‘s 2007 film Bhool Bhulaiyaa, reports suggest. While Priyadarshan directed the original, the new film will be written and directed by Farhad Samji. “Bhushan wanted to make a part 2 of Bhool Bhulaiyaa for a while now and has cracked an idea with Farhad Samji, who will be writing and directing the film. It is in the development stage and will feature a fresh cast. Once the final script is locked, the team will kick off casting and other pre-production formalities,” informs a source close to the development. Bhushan Kumar's production house T-Series has registered the title Bhool Bhulaiyaa and will soon start working on the project. The original, directed by Priyadarshan, was an official remake of the 2005 Rajinikanth starrer Tamil film Chandramukhi, which in turn was a remake of the 1993 Malayalam film, Manichitrathazhu, which had featured Mohanlal and Shobhana as leads. It revolved around a couple played by Vidya Balan and Shiney Ahuja, who decide to stay in their ancestral home, paying no heed to the warnings about ghosts on the premises. Soon, mysterious occurrences force him to call his psychiatrist-friend Dr Aditya Shrivastav (Akshay Kumar) to bail them out of the situation. Farhad Samji, who is directing the film, is presently busy with Akshay Kumar starrer Housefull 4. He has previously directed Entertainment (2014) and Housefull 3 (2016) with his writer-brother Sajid. The director has a number of films in his kitty this year. The director has written Varun Dawan and Sara Ali Khan's Coolie No. 1 remake, Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi, Ahmed Khan's Baaghi 3 and Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmi Bomb, in which Akshay’s character is possessed by a transgender ghost. Apart from Bhool Bhulaiya 2, the producer is already remaking some of the classics of the past. The production house is remaking BR Chopra's 1978 drama Pati Patni Aur Woh starring Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday and Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 1975 comedy Chupke Chupke, in which Rajkummar Rao will reprise Dharmendra's role.
