A source close to the leading daily says, “Kartik has been approached for the film as well and the talks are in the final stages. It is a matter of time before a formal announcement comes in.”

There are names of Ayushmann Khurrana, Vicky Kaushal and Rajkummar Rao also going around.

The source further added, “However, it is Kartik who has, in all likelihood, made the cut. With the super success of ‘Luka Chuppi’ and ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ behind him, he is a hot favorite amongst the youngsters. Director Farhad Samji has some very interesting plans for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ in order to cater to the youth and family audiences. Kartik’s appeal in this segment really helps.”

For those who are unaware, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ was a smashing hit and apart from Akshay Kumar, it had also starred Vidya Balan, Shiny Ahuja in lead roles. This Priyadarshan directorial had released in 2007.

Meanwhile, Kartik is currently busy with ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’. And Kartik is also shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s untitled project with alleged girlfriend Sara Ali Khan.
