Bollywood biggies Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar are among the most bankable actors. The duo have delivered many hits and have been ruling the box office for the past few decades. However, times are changing and sometimes, due to scripts or changing demands, one has to take a step back and pave the way for others. Akshay Kumar starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Salman Khan’s No Entry were both huge box office successes, hence when the installments of both the films were announced without their presence, it shocked their ardent fans. Instead of Akshay Kumar, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 starred Kartik Aryan, and No Entry 2 will feature actors like Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh. While one may think that the duo are miffed or such things bother them, director Anees Bazmee who is directing both Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and No Entry 2, reveals what the truth is. BollywoodLife has a WhatsApp channel that brings you all the latest updates from Entertainment news Check out what Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar feel about not being part of No Entry 2, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 In an interview with Lehren Retro, Anees Bazmee stated that he is very fond of Akshay Kumar.

He then mentions that he always wanted to have Akshay in the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise; however, the producers were keen to cast someone else. He then mentioned that Akshay is a very big star and such a thing doesn’t bother him, and not casting him in a film is the filmmaker’s and his team’s loss, not the actor’s loss. Talking about Salman Khan, Anees stated that even Salman is a very good friend of his. He said that till now, he never had a conversation with Salman about No Entry 2.
