Recent online speculation linking Akshay Kumar's upcoming film *Bhooth Bangla* to the popular *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2* storyline has been firmly addressed by T-Series. The production house has issued a strong clarification, emphasizing that there is absolutely no connection between the two projects, putting an end to widespread rumours.
Addressing the Speculation
Reports had suggested that the script for *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2* was allegedly reworked and subsequently used for *Bhooth Bangla*. However, T-Series has unequivocally denied any such development. Shiv Chanana, co-producer at T-Series, personally debunked these claims, stating, “We have also come across some articles, but the fact is we have never received any script from Mr Priyadarshan or his team for making a Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise.”
T-Series' Exclusive Franchise Control
Chanana further highlighted T-Series' complete ownership and creative control over the *Bhool Bhulaiyaa* franchise. He asserted:
• "It is our franchise. If anything has to be developed, it will be developed by us and under our supervision."
• He reinforced that this process was precisely followed for the creation of *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2* and *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3*.
• Chanana expressed confusion regarding the origin of these baseless stories, confirming, "this was never the case.”
Legal Implications and Official Updates
Industry sources have been quoted indicating that T-Series views the *Bhool Bhulaiyaa* brand as a significant asset. Any attempts to indirectly associate with it could potentially lead to legal action. Following this clear clarification, the studio is urging audiences to disregard unverified speculation and instead rely solely on official announcements and updates concerning their films.
This robust statement from T-Series aims to clear the air, ensuring that fans and the industry are aware that *Bhooth Bangla* stands as an independent project, distinct from the beloved *Bhool Bhulaiyaa* universe.
