Anees Bazmee on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 vs Singham Again clash, comparisons with Stree 2: 'Thodi si gandagi...' | Exclusive

The Diwali 2024 is around the corner and we have two of the most-awaited Bollywood films clashing with each other on the festive occasion. Both the movies are from two of the biggest franchises in Hindi cinema and coincidentally, both of them are threequels. Helmed by Anees Bazmee and headlined by Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit Nene, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is up against Rohit Shetty's action thriller Singham Again, that features a huge line-up of stars including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Jackie Shroff.

Talking about the two big releases, Anees Bazmee told DNA, "The clash is unavoidable. A persona can only control his/her film and not the other one. But, I feel such things won't used to happen earlier. Films used to release at the same time with a lot of understanding and love. Now with the media hype and fan clubs, thodi si gandagi aati hai (some dirt is always there), but we are positive people. I am really happy for everyone as they (Singham Again team) are all my friends. I really wish both movies become successful."

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is the next horror comedy to release after Stree 2, which not only became the biggest hit of 2024, but also shattered records and became the highest-grossing Hindi film in India ever. We asked Anees Bazmee what if his film is compared to Stree 2 and he replied, "I don't know, maybe comparisons would be made because both are horror comedies. But I feel even though both the movies belong to the same genre, they are two completely different films. They had a different kind of horror, we have a different kind of horror. The audiences can compare, but I don't think when a filmmaker decides to make a film, they always try to create something new and beyond such comparisons. I can only say that we are very proud that we have made a very good film."

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Singham Again are releasing in cinemas on November 1. Both movies are expected to set the box office on fire this Diwali.
