Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that Bhoot Police 2 is being made, and the horror-comedy franchise is all set to return with a completely new approach and a new star cast. Veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan will direct the sequel, which will be backed by producers Ramesh Taurani and Akshay Puri. Like the 2021 film, which was headlined by Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez and Yami Gautam, the sequel will also have some established names, but the cast will be completely different from the original.
A source close to the development revealed that the team has been quietly working on the film for the past few months. The source shared, “Priyadarshan sir will be directing the film, and the team is currently shaping the script. Ramesh ji and Akshay ji are once again backing the project, and casting is currently in the process. The makers want to take the franchise in a new direction, and Priyadarshan ji’s comedic sensibilities make him a perfect fit.”
The first part of Bhoot Police had a perfect blend of humor and supernatural elements. With Priyadarshan at the helm, who is talented in the genre and known for iconic comedies like Hera Pheri, Hustle and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, audiences can expect a stronger and more immersive horror-comedy tone.
More updates are awaited, but Bhoot Police 2 is expected to create a buzz in the industry as one of the most awaited sequels.
