Anees Bazmee’s latest venture ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ was a blockbuster at the box office and was released last year in theatres starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani. His upcoming venture starred Shahid Kapoor in the lead role, however the actor dropped out of the film for unknown reasons. The film was set to go on floors in August 2023 and was supposed to start its schedule in December 2023. But, most probably due to creative differences, the film was shelved which was touted to be a comic caper, and had Rashmika Mandanna opposite the actor.
Now, Anees Bazmee has finally reacted to the situation and confirmed the news about the fallout. According to a report in News18, he said, “I’m not doing the film with Shahid Kapoor.” The filmmaker however revealed that the script of the film is very dear to him. He said, “I will restart working on the same script after I wrap up the shoot of my next film because it’s a great script according to me. I will do it with some other hero.”
