Kartik Aaryan to land in London to kick-start his next Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

Kartik Aaryan, who has just finished shooting for his upcoming film Pati Patni Aur Woh, is set to move on to his next project. The young actor will soon start shooting for his new film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. As the title aptly suggests, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is a sequel to the 2007 hit horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which starred Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan and Shiney Ahuja in lead roles.

According to reports, Kartik Aaryan will soon land in London to kick-start the first shooting schedule of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The team is looking at beginning production in the first week of October, as per reports. The actor, who has done several comedies in the past, is attempting a horror-comedy for the first time in his career. We hear that he is quite psyched up about the movie and is looking forward to commencing the work.

While Kartik Aaryan has been confirmed to play the male lead in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the makers are tight-lipped about the actress who is romancing him in the flick. Several names like Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor have been doing the rounds in media, but the makers have not put out any official word yet.

Besides Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik Aaryan has several other exciting projects on his platter. As mentioned above, he has just wrapped up the official remake of the 1978 film Pati Pati Aur Woh. The movie, directed by Mudassar Aziz, also features Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday in lead roles. After Pati Patni Aur Woh, the actor will be seen in filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s next with Sara Ali Khan. He is also doing Karan Johar’s much-awaited Dostana 2 with Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
