Anees Bazmee to direct larger-than-life action comedy as his next after Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

Fresh from the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), filmmaker Anees Bazmee will now be helming an action-comedy film, which is yet untitled. It will be produced by Zee Studios and Vishal Rana and Rohini Vakil’s Echelon Productions. 

Sharing details about the movie, Bazmee said in a statement, “After the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, I want to give our audiences an even bigger dose of entertainment, and this time it will be a larger-than-life action comedy. I am very happy to team up with Zee Studios, Vishal Rana and Rohini Vakil for this project. This film will be something that the Indian audiences have never seen before, and I am very excited about it.” 

Shariq Patel, chief business officer [CBO] of Zee Studios, said that they instantly agreed to back the project when they heard of it. “We are happy to partner with Anees,” he said. “It’s the concept that appealed instantly and I am excited to bring this story to audiences. I am sure his expertise in making massy entertaining films and Zee Studios' strong distribution network will put forth a successful association.” 

Vishal Rana’s last film as a producer was the Sunny Deol and Karan Kapadia-starrer Blank (2019). He is also backing the upcoming Taapsee Pannu-starrer Blurr (2022). “I am thrilled to team up with Anees Bazmee, who is one of the most successful filmmakers in our country today,” he said. “Zee Studios has been a very integral part of my journey as a producer, and I am glad that they believed in our vision for this grand action comedy. This film will be a big-ticket theatrical entertainer.” 

The film is scheduled to be released in 2023.
