Kartik had said no to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

Addressing one of the sessions of the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, Kartik shared that he had said no to the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise. He revealed that when he was approached for the project, there was no particular story, just an idea for a sequel.

Kartik added that after seeing all the love he has received for his portrayal of Rooh Baba, he feels glad he agreed to become a part of the project.

“When the film first came to me, there was no story — just a sequel idea. I wasn’t keen. But Bhushan (Kumar) sir convinced me, we worked on it, and everything changed. Today, wherever I go, kids call me Rooh Baba. I’m glad I eventually did it,” shared Kartik.

Both Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, turned out to be milestone movies for Kartik.
