Akshay Kumarwho is affectionately known as Khiladi Kumar for his thrilling stunts and versatile performances, has also won audiences over with his comedic roles. One of his memorable works is the 2007 horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaaa film that later became a classic and spawned two sequels. However, Akshay’s absence in both sequels left many fans disappointed. The actor recently revealed the reason behind his departure from the franchise.
When a fan expressed that they didn’t watch Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Due to Akshay not being involved, he candidly responded, “Beta, mujhey nikaal diya tha. (I was removed) That’s it.”
In addition to discussing Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Akshay provided an update on his highly anticipated film, Hera Pheri 3. He stated, “Even I am waiting to start Hera Pheri 3. I don’t know, but if everything goes well, it will start this year.” The actor reflected on the original film, saying, “When we started Hera Pheri, we didn’t know it would go ahead to become such a cult. Even when I saw the film, I didn’t understand. Yes, it was funny, but none of us expected the characters of Babu Bhaiya, Raju, and Shyam to become a cult.”
Akshay also praised his co-star Paresh Rawaldescribing him as a genuinely funny person in real life. He recalled, “We were just shooting for Bhooth Bangla in Jaipur, and I had lots of fun with him. During Hera Pheri, we had a lot of fun, but there are some things which can’t be said on camera,” he concluded.
