The cast of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has been getting bigger. After roping in Triptii Dimri, the makers also managed to pull off a casting coup, bringing Vidya Balan on board. And now rumour is rife that Madhuri Dixit Nene has been cast too. When we ask director Anees Bazmee about her, he says, “Whatever is going to happen, we will announce. Triptii and vidya were announced, there are many more left. Some are being signed, with some talks are still on. We will announce it soon.”

As for the shoot, Bazmee is currently wheelchair bound due to a leg surgery. But the show must go on for him. He shares, “I have a broken leg. After my surgery, the shoot was planned to start very soon, it was not looking possible. But when I am shooting, the pain is less. I have learnt how to operate it, so I do it soon and go around the set. We are shooting in Mumbai. I have two people to help me when I need to climb somewhere or get down.”

The shoot so far, he adds has been like a picnic, “My film sets are like that. I don’t want my actors to work under stress. Most of the times, after packup for the day, the director keeps thinking ‘ shoot kaisa tha’ That feeling isn’t there on this one. All the actors are working araam se, on time. I am fortunate.”

His next after this is going to be No Entry 2. “I will start shooting it next year,” he ends.
