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,'' he concluded.
