Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: Kartik Aaryan hikes fee to this EYE-POPPING amount after film's massive box office success [Exclusive]

Given how well Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has done at the box office, coupled with the fact that it's Kartik Aaryan's fourth clean hit out of his past five releases in theatres, a highly enviable record to say the least, he's apparently decided to hike his fee by a good margin

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is a bumper hit. The Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and Tabu starrer ransacked ₹92.10 crore nett in its first week at the box office, finally brining an ailing Bollywood back on track and giving the entire industry plenty of reason to smile. Reaching a ₹90 crore+ weekend at a time when most most Bollywood movies are folding under ₹30 crore in their lifetime run is nothing short of remarkable. It also catapulted Director Anees Bazmee into an exclusive club of Bollywood Directors who’ve delivered clean hits across more than 2 decades. And given the big jumps in its second weekend, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is now well on its way to be a superhit or even a blockbuster.
