Akshay Kumar's return to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4? Anees Bazmee hints at possibility

In a recent exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, filmmaker Anees Bazmee discussed the potential return of Akshay Kumar to the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, especially for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4. While the actor's character has become iconic in the series, Bazmee admitted that nothing would be better than bringing Kumar back. He shared, "We have a strong bond of friendship and love, and we often talk about collaborating again. If the right kind of story comes together, I would be truly happy to bring him back."

Bazmee, who has worked with Akshay on several successful films, emphasized the importance of a compelling story to justify his return. "If the story aligns, it would be a great opportunity for us both," he added.

In addition, Amar Kaushik, director of Stree 2, shed light on the rumors about Akshay Kumar reprising his role from Bhool Bhulaiyaa. While some fans speculated that his cameo in Stree 2 mirrored his Bhool Bhulaiyaa character, Kaushik clarified that it wasn't intentional. "When I was making the film, Akshay mentioned that his character also came from a mental asylum, and I didn’t even realize the resemblance," Kaushik explained.

He further revealed that Kumar wasn’t initially cast for the role. "When I approached him, I had to convince him by saying the role would be fun and that we could shoot in just six days. He agreed right away, even offering to shoot on a Sunday. It was such a nostalgic and enjoyable experience for me," Kaushik shared.

While fans eagerly await news on Akshay Kumar's future in the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, Bazmee's comments have given hope that the actor could make a comeback if the story is right.
