Akshay Kumar wants to do another horror comedy like Bhool Bhulaiyaa

After delivering two Rs 100 crore hits in 2016, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is all set for his third release of the year, Rustom.

The film, written by Vipul K Rawal and directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, will see Akshay play the role of a Naval Officer, Commander Rustom Pavri. The film also stars Ileana D'Cruza and Esha Gupta.

In a recent interview for the promotions of Rustom, Bollywood's Khiladi stated that he was keen to do a horror-comedy film like Priyadarshan's Bhool Bhulaiyya. He was quoted as saying:

"I want to do a horror comedy. I enjoy horror comedy the most because I feel two different genres like horror which has a fear element and comedy which has laughter in it, To combine both of them together is very difficult. Only Mehmood was successful in that. I did it in Priyadarshan's Bhool Bhulaiyya, but then after that I didn't get a script like that. I would like to do that genre again."

Bhool Bhulaiyya was a remake of Manichitrathazhu, a 1993 Malayalam film which is considered to be one of the best horror/thriller films in India. Bhool Bhulaiyya was a sleeper hit at the Bollywood Box Office. Surprisingly, Akshay Kumar won all the accolades instead of Vidya Balan, who reprised the role of national award-winning actress Shobhana in the Hindi remake.
