Anees Bazmee is a busy man again, planning when to resume the shoot for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 with Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and Tabu. The team had to stop shooting after the second Coronavirus wave hit. Some recent reports say the film’s shoot has been further postponed to mid-August. Apparently, an email was sent out to the team conveying the same.

When we reached out to the director, he rubbished reports of shoot being postponed again, and says, “I don’t know anything about this. Our focus has been to start shooting at the earliest, as we have taken dates from our actors.”

The 58-year-old reveals that many meetings have been held for the purpose. “We are discussing where to put up the set for a couple of days. Within a week, we will decide on a date to start shooting again. Postpone nahi hua. Films have been affected due to this calamity. We have to erect sets, it is not a real location,” he says.

The filmmaker further states that if they start shooting in a hurry, and another lockdown is declared soon after, they might have to suffer more losses.
