Naga Chaitanya will not star in the remake of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2; the actor’s team issues statement

There have been several reports about Kartik’s film getting remade in South, and Chaitanya’s name was being associated with it. However, the actor’s team issued a statement on Monday which read, “FACT CHECK: The news which is being circulated on social media regarding @Chay_Akkineni doing the south remake of #BhoolBhulaiya2 is completely false. Requesting the respected media handles not to spread the fake news.”

According to several reports, while Naga Chaitanya was going to step into Kartik Aaryan’s shoes, Jyotika was said to be roped in to play Tabu’s character in the film. It was also said that producer KE Gnanavel Raja has bagged the rights of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and will be making the movie in South.

Chaitanya’s Bollywood debut Laal Singh Chaddha turned out to be a box office dud despite having Aamir Khan as the lead actor. The film, which was an official remake of Oscar-winning Hollywood movie Forrest Gump, was heavily panned. Speaking about the film’s failure, the Telugu actor said that he has no regrets.

Earlier in an interview with Mirchi 9, Chaitanya said, “The main reason for me to do that project was to travel with Aamir sir. As an actor, I wished I get to travel with him for just 2 days to learn from him. I walked into the project with this mindset. But I got to work with him for 5-6 months. There was a lot of honesty, even in the way Aamir sir was working.”
