It was a shock for director Anees Bazmee to hear that his Bhool Bhulaiya art director Rajat Poddar had passed away in London.
“Our happiness at the rousing ovation we received for our teaser of Bhool Bhulaiya 3 evaporated after the news.Rajat has worked with me on several projects, You have to see the magic he has created in Bhool Bhulaiya 3,” says Anees sorrowfully
The teaser of Anees Bazmee’s Bhoola Bhulaiya 3 has taken the virtual world by storm, especially for the crackling hissing chemistry between Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan.
Speaking exclusively to this writer Anees says, “You would be taken aback by the scenes between Vidyaji and Kartik. Kartik’s growth as an actor from Part 1 to Part 2 of Bhool Bhulaiya is tremendous. He is definitely one of our rare all-rounders today.”
Sadly the euphoria over the response to the trailer is tempered by a tragedy.
Says Anees, “Our very talented production designer Rajat Poddar has suddenly passed away. He was in London. Not only a very talented designer but also lovely man. I am still to process his sudden death. I spoke to him just a day before. How can anyone be gone just like that? It is very sobering. Rajat’s passing away is a reminder of how precious every moment in life is.”
Anees says Rajat’s work in Bhool Bhulaiya 3 is an eyeopener. “Every frame is a work of art. If it wasn’t for my team of technicians I wouldn’t be able to tell the stories I want to.”
