Kartik Aaryan, who is recently busy shooting for his upcoming thriller Freddy, also resumed shooting for the horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, a sequel of Bhool Bhulaiyaa that starred Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan. The shooting for the film first began last year in Lucknow but was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The cast and crew reunited again after one year in March 2021, but the filming was disrupted after Kartik contracted the coronavirus, and then later due to the lockdown in the Covid-19 second wave. Now, Kartik took to social media to reveal that they have resumed shooting for the much-awaited film.
Sharing a picture on Instagram with his co-star Tabu, he wrote, “Begin Again #BhoolBhulaiyaa2 ?”. Apart from Kartik and Tabu, the film also stars Kiara Advani.
