Akshay Kumar's absence

Kartik Aaryan has reportedly charged a mammoth Rs 15 crore for the film that has been made on a budget of 65 crores. Kiara Advani reportedly was paid Rs 4 crore. Talking about why Akshay Kumar was not a part of this one, Anees Bazmee told a leading website, "Akshay is too big for these small things. Akshay Kumar cannot be replaced, and he knows that he is not replaced in this film. Akshay has a great body of work over 25 years. Akshay is doing comedy, he is dancing, he is doing action, he is doing everything, he is getting offered the kind of films he wants. So, it is a very small thing for him to do or not do Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2."
