More on Bhool Bhulaiyaaa 2

The Anees Bazmee directorial comes as a sequel to Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan's spooky comedy film of the same name. Apart from Kartik and Kiara, the film stars Tabu, Sanjay Mishra, Rajpal Yadav, Amar Upadhyay, and others in pivotal roles. The film hit theatres on Friday, May 20, clashing with Kangana Ranaut and Arjun Rampal's much-awaited spy thriller Dhaakad.

Talking to PTI, director Anees Bazmee clarified that the movie is not a psychological thriller but rather a horror-comedy. He said, ''I was clear I didn't want to make a psychological thriller. If I had made it that way, there would have been direct comparisons. When you watch this film, it will remind you of part one, but it isn't exactly similar. If I offer you the same film, what is the point in making a sequel? My film is basically a horror-comedy. You will keep getting glimpses of the world but still be watching a new film."
