Meanwhile, talking about how he wanted to give audience a glimpse of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa world and yet deliver a new film, director Aneez Bazmee told PTI that he wanted to mount his upcoming Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 purely as a horror-comedy, letting go of the original film's psychological thriller element to avoid any "direct comparisons".
"Bhool Bhulaiyaa", a Hindi remake of the 1993 Malayalam film "Manichitrathazhu" featuring Mohanlal, largely played out as a horror-comedy before turning into a psychological thriller towards the climax.
In the sequel, which sees actor Kartik Aaryan in a role similar to that of Kumar, Bazmee said he wanted to turn things around.
"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," the filmmaker told PTI.
