The creators of Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani‘s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 announced the new release date on Wednesday. The film will now be released on May 20, 2022. This will avoid a clash with SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which is set to be released on March 25. The developers of RRR just finalised their release date as the COVID 19 limitations were relaxed and several theatres were opened in several states. Now, the directors of Kartik and Kiara’s film have pushed back the release date to avoid a clash with RRR.

For quite some time, the Kartik and Kiara starrer has been the talk of the town. Due to the COVID 19 epidemic, the film’s release date has been pushed back. It was supposed to hit theatres in July 2020. The release date was pushed back due to the COVID 19 shutdown. Due to the epidemic, even the shooting schedules were pushed back, and the actors’ work schedules were rearranged. Now that the current limitations have been lifted, the producers have set May 20 as the release date.

When it comes to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, aside from Kartik and Kiara, Tabu plays an important role. Anees Bazmee is directing the film, which is produced by T Series. It is a prequel to the preceding Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan film, which was released in 2007. The horror-comedy has been one of Kartik’s most anticipated flicks. The film’s earlier poster featured Kartik in a wacky avatar, which piqued the imagination of his admirers. Kartik and Kiara also shot the film amid Manali’s snow-capped slopes.

Bollywood is betting big on horror-comedies, as evidenced by the release of Roohi. The makers of Roohi, also known as Stree, will release Bhediya later this year, starring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, to complete their horror comic universe. According to industry insiders, this is an attempt to flip the classic horror genre on its head and produce films that are based on folk tales and legends and incorporate local cultural aspects rather than simply having plots centred on supernatural forces.
