Kiara Advani joins Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

Kiara Advani will play the female lead opposite Kartik Aaryan in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The sequel was announced last month by producer Bhushan Kumar. The film is in the pre-production stages and is set to go on floors in October, reports claim.

Kiara, who was recently seen in Kabir Singh, has another horror-comedy on her hands. She has been paired opposite Akshay Kumar in Laxxmi Bomb. The film is a remake of the 2011 Tamil film Muni 2: Kanchana. The Hindi version is directed by Raghava Lawrence, who also helms and stars in the Tamil franchise.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007) was a psychological comedy-thriller directed by Priyadarshan. The story revolved around a psychiatrist, played by Akshay Kumar, trying to solve a mysterious occurrence at a Rajasthani palace.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is written by Farhad Samji and Aakash Kaushik, and directed by Aneez Bazmee. The film is set for release on July 31, 2020.
