The much awaited sequel of the Akshay Kumar starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa is nearing release and the makers can’t keep calm. Well neither can the audiences, who will get to hear the title track during the theatrical run of the recently released Hollywood film Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness. The latter that released on 6th May is striking gold at the box office. So the Kartik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 makers are cashing in on the success by playing it’s film’s title track.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 title song has already become a huge hit and now fans can hear it in the cinema halls too! Interestingly, the song is played just before the trailer of the James Cameron’s eagerly anticipated film Avatar: The Way of Water. This is a new promotion tactic by director Anees Bazmee. Usually we see film trailers played in cinema halls with other films and not the title track.
Speaking of comparisons between the original Vidya Balan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa and the second instalment, director Bazmee said, “Comedy and horror, these are the two only aspects that we have picked up from part 1. However, we have treated it differently. I am sure that there are certain plot points in the film which surprise you. You’d be like, ‘Okay, I didn’t expect this’. I hope the audience reacts the way we expect them to. There’s a technical term, ‘wanted reactions’. It means that we want the audience to react in a certain way or laugh at a particular scene. At times, it becomes a case of ‘unwanted reactions’, when we want the audience to laugh in a particular scene and they don’t. Aur kabhi kabhi hum nahi chahte ki public hasein aur wahaan woh hasti hai! So we want that log scene ke saath hasein, scene par na hasein.”
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 stars Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Rajpal Yadav. The film will release on 20th May 2022.
