Seems like Kartik Aaryan is every director's new blue-eyed boy. After Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal 2 with Sara Ali Khan, he has Pati Patni Aur Woh with Ananya Panday and Bhumi Pednekar and later Dostana 2 with Janhvi Kapoor. And amidst the same jam-packed schedule, the Luka Chuppi actor has decided to go ahead with the sequel of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the first look of which was unveiled recently. Though Kartik stepping into Akshay Kumar's shoes for this sequel is making everyone curious, we are more interested in the film's release date.

The makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 announced July 31, 2020, as the film's release date on the posters. And the ones who don't know, the same date coincides with Bakri Eid celebrations next year. Kartik's movie releasing on Eid-al-Adha will result in him locking horns with Ranbir Kapoor, Jr NTR and Ram Charan at the box office. SS Rajamouli's period drama on two freedom fighters, RRR, and Ranbir Kapoor's next with YRF, Shamshera, are slated to release on the same day and they will now clash with Kartik's sequel.

Considering all the three projects have enough content and all the good reasons to keep us intrigued, it will be tough to predict the box office winners. While Alia Bhatt makes her regional debut with RRR and Shamshera has Vaani Kapoor, we wait to see which actress comes on board for Mr Aaryan's next. Any guesses?
