Anees Bazmee On Salman, Casting Nana Patekar In Welcome, Bhool Bhulaiyaa3| Mukesh Chhabra|TBD S3EP03

In an engaging episode of The Bombay Dream with Mukesh Chhabra, presented by Samsung Galaxy Book4 Series, Bollywood's versatile filmmaker Anees Bazmee dives into his remarkable journey through the film industry. From starting as an assistant director to becoming a celebrated writer, editor, and director, Bazmee has crafted some of India's most beloved comedies. Did you know there was skepticism in involving a veteran actor like Nana Patekar to play a comedic role or that the role of "Majnu Bhai" played by Anil Kapoor never existed? Anees also shares insights on creating No Entry, where Saif Ali Khan was initially slated for Fardeen Khan's role, and ponders how he might approach these films if he made them today. With upcoming projects like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, with Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Tripti Dimri and Madhuri Dixit, Bazmee gives audiences a taste of what’s next in his career.

Making No entry, Welcome, Singh is King and Ready back to back is legend stuff

[vinukrishnan]

If possible do one with Priyadarsan. He redefined the comedy genre in Bollywood. Never got his due from the industry because he was not based there. Even his flops are considered as cult movies today.

[kaustavchatterjee]

Good to see directors like Anees Bazmee getting back to spotlight. Didn't like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (except the climax) but hope to see more films from him.

[abhishekhange]

Annes Bazmee should get good writers and dialogue writers on board, the comedy and punches in no entry, welcome and Singh is king are the best. Since welcome back the comedy element is gone, I hope my fav director will bounce back 😊🙏♥️

[ashish]

Anees Bazmee is what in true sense a bollywood represents. good clean comedy movies with good music and laughter. films like ankhein, deewana mastana, bol radha bol, swarg.. these are cult movies ..
