Sometimes, nostalgia can be a big reason to give your nod to a project. Saying yes to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 came easy to Kiara Advani, who, despite her aversion to horror films, had loved the 2007 Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan hit. She says, “We have retained the essence of the original and some elements like Manjulika’s name, but as a storyline, this is completely new. That said, Bhool Bhulaiyaa was a cult film, and when you make the second part, you can only get inspired. This is not a psychological thriller, but a horror comedy. There is a layer of black magic.”
