Actor Naga Chaitanya recently made headlines as it was reported that he will be starring in the South remake of Kartik Aaryan’s Hindi blockbuster ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’. However, the actor’s team has issued a statement dismissing these reports.
The statement released on June 5th 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.’
Multiple reports also mentioned that Jyotika has been roped in to play Tabu’s character in the film. It was also said that producer KE Gnanavel Raja has bagged the rights to ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’.
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, which was released in 2022, had a successful theatrical run. It earned over Rs 250 crore at the box office.
Naga Chaitanya made his Bollywood debut with ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The film, which was an official remake of Oscar-winning Hollywood movie ‘Forrest Gump’, turned out to be a box office dud.
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.’
