EXCLUSIVE: Anees Bazmee on shooting two climaxes for Kartik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: “I didn’t reveal the story to many actors”
This Diwali, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 clashes with Singham Again in the cinemas. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, director Anees Bazmee revealed the intriguing decision to film two climaxes for the much-anticipated third part starring Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit. Bazmee shared that he kept the details of the plot tightly under wraps, disclosing minimal information to the cast.
Speaking to our publication, the filmmaker said, “We wanted to create two climaxes to keep everyone guessing. We didn’t want anything to be revealed. I didn’t want the climax to be spoiled. Usually, after the first show on the first day, everyone knows what the climax is. But I think people still enjoy watching the film and don’t want to spoil it for their friends and family. If they like the film, they’ll say, ‘No, no, you should go watch it.’ We don’t want to spoil that. I think that’s beautiful. And it’s the audience’s right. If they’ve paid so much money to watch the film and they’re giving us so much love, they should enjoy it.”
The filmmaker went onto reveal that the actors on the set weren’t aware of the fact that they were filming two different climaxes. “So, I didn’t reveal the story to many actors. I told some one thing, some another. And even the scriptwriters weren’t given the actual climax. We were shooting multiple climaxes. We were working, working, working. My God, you’d be wondering which climax was going to be the final one. They were confused from the very beginning. I wanted everyone else to be a little clueless. I wanted there to be an element of surprise. And in the film, itself, when the characters don’t know what’s going to happen next, it’s more fun. And the audience, too, would be guessing. Maybe, they had the wrong theories,” he continued.
He concluded, “So, all this fun was happening between us four or six people who knew the secret. And we shot it very secretly. The unit was huge, but we kept it very small. We confused people, told them lies, and had a lot of fun. After all, when you’re making a film, you should have fun, right? That’s why we spend 24 hours on it. If you’re not enjoying what you’re doing, then neither will those around you. I had a lot of fun with my team. We were joking, chatting, and enjoying ourselves.”
Directed by Anees Bazmee and initiated by Bhushan Kumar, the film gears up for a grand release this Diwali on November 1, 2024.

EXCLUSIVE: Avinash Tiwary starrer Sikandar Ka Muqaddar to release during THIS period
Filmmaker Neeraj Pandey and producer Shital Bhatia’s Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, which starred Ajay Devgn and Tabu in lead roles, recently started streaming on Prime Video. It seems that the audience won’t need to wait long for their next film under their banner Friday Filmworks. It’s a Netflix original movie Sikandar Ka Muqaddar starring Avinash Tiwary in the lead.
Sharing some latest info about the film, Bhatia told Bollywood Hungama exclusively, “It is shaping up very well. In fact, I saw it last night itself. I am very excited for its release. It should be released in the next couple of months. I hope all of you enjoy it.” Netflix has described the film as, “A globe trotting adventure and the heist of the century!”
Sikandar Ka Muqaddar is Pandey and Bhatia’s next association with Tiwary after the successful web series Khakee: The Bihar Chapter. “He is a wonderful actor,” said Bhatia. “He is very good. When Neeraj was writing this film, he thought that he (Avinash) is right for the character. That’s how we cast him, and he has done a wonderful job.”
Bhatia and Pandey started off with the iconic movie A Wednesday and have since gone onto make a number of films and web shows on different topics. When asked how they choose their subjects, Bhatia said, “We are storytellers. That’s what our job is – we are constantly looking for stories. Anything that’s exciting that comes our way, whether it’s from Neeraj or any other writer, if we believe in it, we back it up. There is no particular genre that one is looking at all the time. We are just looking out for good stories.”
Meanwhile, Avinash Tiwary recently had a successful re-release of his debut film Laila Majnu. Directed by Sajid Ali, the film starred Triptii Dimri opposite him.
