Tabu refuses to shoot until Covid scare is over, Bhool Bhulaiya 2 on hold: Reports

Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiya 2 has made it to the headlines for the delay in its release. The recent news is likely to disappoint fans as the much-awaited film has been put on hold indefinitely.

A recent SpotboyE report suggests that it was the film’s leading lady - Tabu who has refused to shoot until the pandemic is over.

The report also quoted a source saying, “A major schedule of Bhool Bhulaiya 2 in Jaipur was shut down in March 2020, and the unit had to disperse hastily amidst the pandemic scare. After the lockdown ended, director Anees Bazmee informed the cast and crew that the shooting would  resume. But Tabu, who plays a major part in the film, refused to return, saying that she was not feeling secure or safe shooting while the pandemic prevailed. The producers were left with no choice but to postpone shooting indefinitely.”

For the uninitiated, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is a sequel to the 2007 hit comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa which saw Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Shiney Ahuja, and Paresh Rawal in the lead roles.

The sequel will also star Tabu and the film was all set to release on July 31, 2021. As of now, no release date has been announced considering the on-going situation and it might even extend till 2022.
