‘Housefull 4’ to feature entire ‘Housefull’ franchise cast

Sajid Nadiadwala’s upcoming comedy caper ‘Housefull 4’ is set to be the biggest yet, featuring the entire cast from all three ‘Housefull’ films.

According to Deccan Chronicle, a congregation of the stars from Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Jacqueline Fernandez will be part of the fourth film.

Confirming the news, Nadiadwala told the publication, “Yes, that’s right. We intend to bring back the entire cast from earlier Housefull films. Of course, Jia Khan is no longer with us, God bless her soul. But all the rest are on.” The reincarnation idea of the new instalment came to Sajid in a flash. “I thought we’ve seen so many serious, intense romantic movies on the theme of reincarnations — Madhumati, Karz and others. Why not a funny take on punar janam? That was my idea and I shared it with my storywriters. I thought they’d take at least a year or two to crack it, but they came up with a terrific plot in no time. So yeah, here we are, all set to do a rip roaring take on reincarnation.”

Nadiadwala will be reuniting with Sajid Khan after a fall-out previously. Nadiadwala said, “We’re looking ahead at making the most expensive comedy ever to come out of our production house. Housefull 4 will be set in two time zones. One will be the current times and the other in an era like Baahubali’s, where all the characters will get into costumes. That segment will be shot on the same scale as Baahubali.”
