Vidya on returning to the franchise

"It is a different time and a different me. The role may be the same, but it has changed (in its own way). My approach is fresh," Vidya had said in an interview. "Bhool Bhulaiyaa gave me so much. So, I felt, 'Should I do another one in the franchise?' The worry that the sequel won't match up to the original always plays on an actor's mind. But I have grown up. This is a completely different film, and there is so much to enjoy in it. I wanted to work with Anees bhai. I love the script, and because I was a part of the original, this is a whole different high," she added.
