Recently, a few Bollywood films that opened with or around South films, have not been able to make enough money while the South films tasted huge success. When Kaira Advani was asked if South films have an impact over Bollywood films at the box office, she said that there is always hope for good films to work.  “‘Gangubai Kathaiwadi’ was such an outstanding film. It did numbers also. And so did ‘The Kashmir Files’. A good film is a good film, and it will get its dues. There is hope,” said the actor.

As for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, helmed by Anees Bazmee, Kiara Advani previously revealed to Asianet Newsable that a particular dance sequence in the song is what made her say yes to the film, and is also her favourite scene from the movie. Bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 will also star actors Tabu, Sanjay Mishra, Rajpal Yadav, Milind Gunaji and Amar Upadhyay in pivotal roles.
