Read highlights of the conversation…
Q- What have you brought new this time in 'Bhul Bhulaiyya 3'? Answer- Those who have seen 'Bhool Bhulaiya 2' will enjoy the third part even more. Its star cast is bigger than the previous film. It also has more horror and comedy. Vidya Balan has made a comeback. Madhuri Dixit ji is also with him. Visual effects and music have been done better than before. The trio of Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra and Vijay Raj are also ready to make you laugh. Karthik Aryan and Tripti Dimri. Now what more could anyone want as an audience?
Question- What are your expectations from this film? Answer- I always have expectations from my films. I have written and directed many films in my career. Apart from this I am also involved in many things related to film making. Now after working for so many years I feel that I should definitely get the fruits of my labor. However, I have also reaped the rewards of my hard work. I hope the audience's love continues.
Q- How was the story of 'Bhool Bhulaiyya 3' prepared? How is a story selected? Answer- If a story is well made then 30% of the film is done like this. Story, screenplay and dialogues are most important. If all the three sections are right then the film is good. We experimented with the story many times, then after brainstorming we came up with a better story.
Question- The music of your films is much discussed Answer: Many times I have a fight with the music director. No matter what anyone says, unless I like a song, I don't take it in my film. I ask the music director to put this song in another film. You might say I understand a little about music.
Question- You have also got international singer-rapper Pitbull and Diljit Dosanjh to add flavor to the music, what do you say? Answer: This time there was an attempt from day one to bring something new to music. Producer Bhushan Kumar said that he will do his best to make the music grand. Then we added Diljit's title song. Then a powerful rap from Pitbull was added. A huge set was prepared for the shooting of this song. It had excellent lighting. I thank everyone including the Art Director and DOP for this.
Question- How did you convince Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan to act in the film? Answer- Both loved the script. When he found out that Anees Bazmee was directing and Bhushan Kumar was producing, he faced no problem. On top of that, the characters of both are also written very strongly.
I am very happy that Vidya and Madhuriji said yes to the film. We also feel very lucky to have him in our film. You have seen it in the trailer itself, the full movie is yet to come. So far, very few things have been shown in the trailer.
Question- What do you say about the clash with Singham, you didn't get a call from Rohit Shetty or Ajay Devgn? Answer- No, I didn't talk to him about it. They understand my nature. They know that I focus more on making films, I am not much concerned with the post-production process. As far as Clash is concerned, it seems that two films are releasing simultaneously for the first time. It's festival time, I wish both the films do well.
Question- Vidya Balan is back from 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3', will Akshay Kumar and Karthik be seen together in the next part? Answer- Why not, if this movie does well then we will definitely make its next part. Then the next part will also be larger than life. However, we have given our all in 'Bhool Bhulaiyya 3' itself. How to make the front end better will be a big challenge.
