Hit Movies Franchises Returning
Get ready for some exciting news, especially if you’re a fan of movies! Remember those classic characters we loved from different movie series like Manjulika and Jolly LLB Well, get ready to see them again in the new installments. Vidhya Balan who played the spooky Manjulika in the movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa in 2007 will be back for more in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3! And speaking of comebacks, Arshad Warsi, who was the main guy in Jolly LLB from 2013, is returning for Jolly LLB 3! Actor Akshay Kumar, too, who was part of Welcome (2007), will be seen in Welcome To The Jungle.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 director Anees Bazmee said that the return of the original cast, adds immense value to the upcoming film. Praising the actress he said “Vidya did a great job in the first film, the character was so good, and now she will perform even better. Wo character ko wo jee chuke hai, and publicity ke hisaab se bhi excitement logo ki bohot badh jaati hai. To mujhe lagta hai ki iss tarah ke fayede hite hai.”
Trade analyst Atul Mohan’s statement
Trade analyst Atul Mohan explains When big names like Vidya Balan or Arshad Warsi join the cast of a new movie installment, it instantly grabs attention. Imagine if they announced Jolly LLB 3 with just Akshay Kumar – it would have been okay, but not as exciting. Having Arshad Warsi or Vidya Balan return creates buzz and curiosity. It’s like a bonus for the movie! And there’s a reason why these actors join. They don’t want to be just background characters. And look for roles that give them something substantial to do. They want to be important parts of the story, not just sidekicks. So, when they agree to be in a movie, it’s because they know they’ll have an important role to play.
Girish Johar, Producer and film business expert while talking about the excitement of the audience, points out something important about bringing back beloved franchises. He says, “These are already successful franchises, which adds more excitement to the box office saleability. It helps so much in marketing. But there’s a challenge in meeting the expectations of the audience. People don’t want to see the same old stuff repeated, and they don’t want to feel like the filmmakers are just trying to make a quick buck off the franchise’s name. The pressure is more. It’s not an easy thing.”
