Talking about his collaboration with Bhushan Kumar for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik told Mumbai Mirror, "I'm looking forward to collaborating with Bhushanji again. Bhool Bhulaiyaa has always been one of my favourite comedic supernatural thriller film and now being part of BB2 makes me happy, especially because I've been a big fan of Akshay Kumar sir and it's a great responsibility to take his franchise forward. It's a hilarious script and Anees sir has taken it to another level. I'm also looking forward to working with Murad bhai."
