Kartik Aaryan on the Box Office Clash: Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Vs Singham Again

As Diwali approaches, the anticipation for this year’s festive box office showdown intensifies. Kartik Aaryan’s highly awaited film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, is set to clash with the action-packed Singham Again. With both films vying for audience attention, Aaryan recently shared his thoughts on this cinematic face-off.

In a candid conversation about the release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Aaryan emphasized that the clash wasn’t anyone’s fault. “If you look at it, I think it’s nobody’s fault,” he stated. He explained that the release date was announced long ago, and both films have independently worked towards their launch. Notably, he pointed out that while both films share thematic elements, the unique storytelling should allow them to coexist in theaters.

Aaryan expressed optimism about the audience’s ability to appreciate both films, saying, “I don’t think the audience will stop at just one film; they can watch both.” This sentiment underscores a growing trend in the film industry where audiences are increasingly willing to enjoy diverse offerings, even when they premiere simultaneously.

The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has undoubtedly raised the stakes for its sequel. When asked about the pressure stemming from the previous film’s performance, Aaryan acknowledged the heightened expectations surrounding Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. “When I was promoting Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, there weren’t many expectations. Now, the expectations are so high, especially given the response to the teaser and trailer,” he remarked.

Despite the pressure, Aaryan approaches this challenge with a positive mindset. “My only hope right now is that the audience gets entertained,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of viewer satisfaction over box office numbers.

Reflecting on the dual importance of critical and commercial success, Aaryan remarked, “I work as if this is my first film and my last film.” He expressed a commitment to delivering quality content, believing that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is an entertaining film that families can enjoy together.

He concluded with a hopeful note, wishing for both critical acclaim and audience appreciation. “I think we have made a good film, and I hope it translates into numbers as well,” Aaryan said, underlining his dedication to creating a film that offers value for money.

Helmed by Anees Bazmee, the film also stars Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Triptii Dimri, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav and more.
