Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Box Office Collection Day 1:
According to the website Sacnilk, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ collected Rs 35 crore on its opening day. The numbers are expected to go higher on the weekend. Despite clashing with ‘Singham Again’, the movie has been able to live up to the high expectations of the audience.
For the unversed, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ was also a blockbuster and is often credited with opening gates for Bollywood movies in theatres in the post-pandemic.

During an interview with News18, director Anees Bazmee talked about his decision of not casting Akshay Kumar. He said. “I know that I can reach out to him anytime. I don’t even need to think twice before doing that. I’ve a lot of love for him. Mujhe lagta hai ki mera ek haq hai unpe. I know that I can insist and coax him to play a character in my films. Bahot kam log hai jinke upar main aisa haq jata sakta hoon. That’s the kind of relationship I’ve with him. And if a character or a cameo suits him, he’ll do it for sure.”
When Anees decided to make Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, he recalls how it was a difficult decision to make. “Akshay ji was so good in Bhool Bhulaiyaa that the thought of having a sequel without him was tough. But we made Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 with a lot of earnestness and heart with the resources available at hand. Once it released, people liked Kartik as much as they had liked Akshay ji.”
Akshay Kumar played the role of a psychiatrist in the first instalment of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’.
