# Anees Bazmee says script hunt stalls Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 2026-08-07T14:28:33+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Director Anees Bazmee has confirmed that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 is on hold because he has not found a script worthy of the franchise. In an interview with Variety India, reported by Times of India, Bazmee said the challenge is the story, not casting or scheduling. The first three films exhausted major ideas, so a fresh concept is needed before proceeding. He added that once they find a good story, he would love to direct it. Kartik Aaryan will reprise his role as Rooh Baba, whom Bazmee praised as a 'director's actor'. Meanwhile, Bazmee is finishing a comedy film with Akshay Kumar. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Bollywood sequels, horror-comedy franchise, Kartik Aaryan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/anees-bazmee-says-script-hunt-stalls-bhool-bhulaiyaa-4/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
