Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 trailer: This time, Kartik Aaryan faces Manjulika

Kartik Aaryan will encounter the supernatural on celluloid for the first time in the horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The follow-up to Priyadarshan’s critically acclaimed blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), which starred Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan, has been helmed by Anees Bazmee. 

The trailer of the film revolves around an occult specialist (Kartik Aaryan) and his girlfriend (Kiara Advani), who arrive in a mansion that is said to be haunted by a witch called Manjulika, which was also the name of an evil entity in the first film. Kartik’s character isn't too concerned but a woman (Tabu) who lives there is spooked by the paranormal activities.  

The first film in the franchise succeeded in inducing laughter and providing a mystery through simple means. But there is a lot of VFX in this movie. It remains to be seen if this is justified.

Kartik, who steps into Akshay’s shoes, appears confident. Advani also fits the role of his partner and Manjulika. Rajpal Yadav reprises his role from the previous film. Music director Pritam has also been retained from the 2007 movie. 

Produced by T-Series and Cine 1 Studios and distributed by AA Films, Bhool Bhulaiya 2 will be released in theatres on 20 May.
