For the first time, prolific filmmaker Anees Bazmee has admitted that Bhool Bhulaiyaa’s fourth installment is a work in progress.
On May 20, when Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 completed four years, this writer touched base with director Anees Bazmee, who spoke exclusively. “Four years later, the film continues to resonate with the audience. It is everyone’s favourite blueschaser.”
Anees Bazmee is all praise for Kartik Aaryan. “Ussne ne kamaal ka kaam kiya. The world would have never known of his fabulous comic timing if it wasn’t for Bhool Bhulaiyaa. I am planning a couple of comedies with Kartik.”
Is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 one of them? “Most definitely. It is a work in progress. The love that the series has accrued over the years is unsurpassable. So yeah, it is happening. The only factor that I can confirm is Kartik.”
While Bhool Bhulaiya 2 was released on May 20, 2022, Bhool Bhulaiya 3 opened on 1 November, 2024. Looking back, Anees says the best thing about Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was working with Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan. “The two legends together, they never let me feel I was working with legends. They were punctual, disciplined, competitive, and yet collaborative. Bohat mazaa aaya.”
Would Bhoool Bhulaiyaa 4 have Vidya and Madhuri again?
“It could! On the other hand, we may have some other actress who have never been part of the Franchise before,” promises Anees.
His birthday wishes? “To keep entertaining the audience. To make people laugh during these times of stress is the biggest blessing I can think of.”
