Anees Bazmee, the director of the film, addressed Akshay's absence from the Bhool Bhulaiyaa sequels. He clarified, "No, Akshay is not a part of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. I am dying to work with him, but unfortunately, I have not been able to script a film where we could work together. In the future, certainly yes."

Vidya Balan's Gracious Gesture

Bazmee also shared his appreciation for Vidya Balan's involvement, recalling her kindness during the filming of his previous movie. He said, "Vidya had agreed to do a 3-day role in my film Thank You. I remember calling her, and she took no time to give her nod. I can never forget that gracious gesture. It all started from there, and here I am today, ready to go on the set."
