Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: Kartik Aaryan And Vidya Balan Reunite, But Akshay Kumar Confirms No Cameo

Bhool Bhulaiyaa is widely regarded as one of the most iconic horror comedies in Indian cinema. Released in 2007, it was a breath of fresh air, blending humor and horror in a way that Indian audiences hadn’t experienced before. Akshay Kumar’s witty portrayal of Dr. Aditya Shrivastav, paired with Vidya Balan’s intense and memorable performance as Avni/Manjulika, made the film an instant hit. Over the years, it has only grown in popularity, becoming a fan favorite and a classic in its genre. The film’s success set a high bar, so when Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was announced with Kartik Aaryan in the lead, there was natural skepticism. Could Kartik match up to the legacy Akshay had left behind?

To everyone’s surprise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 shattered expectations when it hit theaters in 2022. The sequel not only lived up to the hype but also became a massive blockbuster, establishing Kartik Aaryan as the “janta ka superstar.” His portrayal brought a fresh energy to the franchise while still honoring the original’s spirit.

Now, the anticipation for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is at its peak. For the first time, Kartik and Vidya Balan will share the screen, with new additions to the cast like Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit. However, despite rumors, Akshay Kumar will not be making a cameo in the third installment. When asked about his potential appearance, Akshay shut down speculation, stating, “No, absolutely not. It’s fake news.”

While fans of the original might feel disheartened by Akshay’s absence in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, there’s still good news. He is set to appear in Stree 2, alongside Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. This promises plenty of Akshay’s signature horror-comedy flavor, continuing his association with the genre that made him a fan favorite.
