Prolific and successful director Anees Bazmee whose comedies in the past such as Welcome, No Entry and Singh Is Kiing were huge hits, is readying his latest comedy Bhool Bhulaiya 2 for release.
Proud of the end-product Bazmee says, “It’s shaped up into a complete entertainer for the family. My films are always free of vulgarity and double meanings. My leading man Kartik Aryan also has a very family-oriented image. Kids , grownups, grandfather and grandmothers …they all love Kartik.So we have a double responsibility which Bhool Bhulaiya 2 will more than deliver.”
Anees pooh-poohs all comparisons between Bhool Bhulaiya and Bhool Bhulaiya 2. “The first Bhool Bhulaiya film came 14 years ago. Audiences have moved on since then. Priyadarshan who directed the first film had his own style of storytelling. I have my own style.”
For those comparing Kartik in Bhool Bhulaiya 2 with Akshay Kumar in Bhool Bhulaiya, Priyan quips, “Wait to see the entire film before comparing the two. Akshay and Kartik are different actors. They both have impeccable comic timing. But their approach and style are incomparable.They are like two masterchefs cooking the same dish. The taste and flavor are bound to be completely different.”
