Kartik Aaryan has addressed the upcoming clash between his film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, both set for release on November 1. He acknowledged the competition, saying, ‘We are up against a big film with many stars, and I am a fan of them. I hope both films succeed; having options is good for the audience.’

Both films feature notable casts, including Ajay Devgn, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor, and Triptii Dimri. With Diwali approaching, the lack of advance bookings for either film may impact their box office performance.

Ongoing negotiations about screen sharing have been reported, with director Rohit Shetty seeking a 60-40 split, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is aiming for a 50-50 share. Nitin Datar, president of the cinema owners’ association, explained that single-screen theaters face limitations, as they can only run four shows a day and cannot split screenings between films.

Kartik also reflected on the heightened expectations following the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which grossed nearly ₹185 crore. He noted that the first film had low expectations, but its surprise success has raised the stakes for the sequel. In recognition of this success, producer Bhushan Kumar gifted him a McLaren GT worth ₹4.72 crore.
