He said, “Akshay is a versatile actor who brings brilliance to any role, whether it’s comedy or action.” The director hinted that Akshay’s potential involvement in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 would add a significant layer of appeal to the film, especially since Kartik Aaryan would get the chance to work alongside someone he admires greatly.
