Kartik Aaryan was shooting for the much-awaited second instalment of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ when the lockdown was announced. Now it looks like, the movie will be delayed further as the shoot won't be happening anytime soon. Citing the reason for the constant delay for the shoot of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 a source close to the development told Pinkvilla, “The film was first planned to be shot in November last year, however, Kartik was sceptical on travelling outdoors and hence, it was called off. Since then, the makers were trying to take the film on floors in January, however, Tabu, who plays a pivotal role in the film, showed her reservations on shooting the film due to the Covid fear after someone close to her got exposed to the virus.”
The actress has informed the team about her decision to shoot only after getting vaccinated. She is expecting even the crew to be vaccinated to avoid the spread of virus. Since there is no clarity on the vaccination drive reaching out to everyone, the team decided to postpone the schedule and chalk out a plan only once the matching dates are available in later half of the year, added the source.The 2007 film was directed by Priyadarshan and starred Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan and Shiney Ahuja in the lead. It was the official Hindi remake of the 1993 Malayalam psychological comedy thriller Manichitrathazhu. Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, Krishan Kumar and Murad Khetani, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 also features Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, and Govind Namdev.
