The filmmaker shared that the entire team of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was working till the very last moment. “So, in the last month before the release, I was working for 46-48 hours without sleep. The machine that we use to work on showed that we have already been working for 154 hours, so the person who handles it said that it will blow up if we don’t stop it now. We were working like this. So, not just a week, we wouldn’t have been able to release even three days before the actual date. We were working on the film till the very last day,” he revealed.

Anees added, “About postponing, that also wasn’t possible. We had already announced it since the beginning and the publicity was done accordingly. Moreover, everyone wanted to come on Diwali. There wasn’t much that I could do. With their subject, it might have been a compulsion for them also to release the film on Diwali. They were also right to do so. This clash was quite unfortunate, both the films faced a certain loss because of that. But sometimes, some things are not in your control and I don’t think so much. Moreover, every film has its own fate, it gets what it is supposed to get.”

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 starred Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri in lead roles. On the other hand, Singham Again featured an ensemble cast, including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Tiger Shroff.
