Is Akshay Kumar affected after missing out on the Bhool Bhulaiyaa sequel?
In a conversation with Lehren Retro, Anees revealed that he is in constant touch with Akshay and has made two of the most beautiful films of his life with him – Singh Is Kinng and Welcome.
He continued, “For Bhool Bhulaiyaa, it was the decision of the producers. If you ask me, I always want to work with him. He is such a good actor and we are good friends. It is such a small thing for him. He is such a big star that if he isn’t doing a film, it is others’ loss not to cast him, but it isn’t a loss for him.”

Did the cast change in No Entry 2 affect Salman Khan?
Anees in the same interview shared that he didn’t have this conversation with Salman Khan. He clarified, “Me and Salman are such good friends that if he had something in his heart, he would have told me. If he isn’t saying anything that means that it makes no difference to him. I met him just last week. Whether we do a film or not, it makes no difference to our equation.”
Salman’s No Entry also starred Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan and was released in 2005. For the sequel, the entire cast has been changed, and taking center stage this time are actors Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Arjun Kapoor.
