Director Snatches Kartik’s Blockbuster Sequel for Akshay?

Director Anees Bazmee is once again in the spotlight. A tweet by Kamaal R Khan on Monday, January 5, claimed that Anees Bazmee may not return for the next installment of Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

According to the tweet, Anees Bazmee will be occupied for the next two years. The reason cited is his close association with Akshay Kumar. His upcoming film with Akshay is set to go on floors this month, followed by another project.

Because of this packed schedule, Anees Bazmee may not be involved with BB4 in any capacity. This has come as a disappointment to many fans. The sequel was expected to mark the return of Kartik Aaryan.

Fans also hoped that Anees Bazmee would bring Akshay Kumar for a cameo. That combination was seen as a winning move. However, the latest developments suggest that this plan may not materialise.

Several online users feel that Anees Bazmee understands Kartik Aaryan’s potential well. They believe BB4 could have been a major turning point for the actor. The success of the last two follow-ups strengthened this expectation.

Meanwhile, another section of fans is demanding the return of Priyadarshan as director. They credit him for establishing the franchise’s identity. Many feel his vision defined Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

The situation indicates that BB4 may take longer than expected to materialise. While the film still has box office potential, some netizens suggest taking a break from horror-comedy. They fear genre fatigue could lead to failures.

With Anees Bazmee busy, Kartik Aaryan now depends on another strong project. Fans are pinning hopes on Naagzilla to showcase his new screen persona. Its performance could shape his immediate future.

As supernatural themes begin to lose freshness, expectations are cautious. It remains to be seen whether Naagzilla delivers or Kartik Aaryan waits longer to reunite with Anees Bazmee.
