When it was announced that not Akshay Kumar but Kartik Aaryan would headline Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 , netizens were left divided. While some were excited to see Kartik as Rooh Baba, others were unsure that he would be able to create the same magic that Akshay had in Priyadarshan’s iconic 2007 horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa . The actor-director duo was a sureshot recipe for a blockbuster! Akshay has even confirmed that he won’t be seen in a cameo in Kartik’s next release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 .
Well, Akshay is no longer a part of the franchise, but on his birthday today he did give fans an unexpected surprise. After 14 long years, the superstar is reuniting with his Bhool Bhulaiyaa director Priyadarshan for a horror comedy! As he rings in his 57th birthday, Akshay announced his next film titled Bhooth Bangla . The superstar took to his official social media handle to share the news with fans along with the first look.
