Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who is currently gearing up for back-to-back comedy releases opened up on not being a part of the cult franchise Bhool Bhulaiyaa for its second and third installment. Akshay also shared that he picked up movies on social causes in the past couple of years since his mind was in a state that pushed him to do so. 

Akshay Kumar was ‘removed’ from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and 3

In an interview with Pinkvilla, a fan sitting in the audience asked Akshay Kumar why he wasn’t a part of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and 3, to which the actor replied, “Beta, mujhe nikaal diya tha (I was removed). That’s it.” The first part Bhool Bhulaiyaa, released in 2007, starred Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan in the lead roles. It was directed by Priyadarshan and was a remake of the 1993 Malayalam-language film Manichitrathazhu.
