‘Housefull 4’ budget soars

The fourth installment in the comedy franchise ‘Housefull 4’ is nearing to its release date in October. However, it seems the film is turning out to be a rather expensive affair.

According to the Deccan Chronicle, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has pumped in a lot of money for ‘Housefull 4’ mainly due to its VFX.

A source told the publication, “The film boasts a huge starcast — Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, both the Kritis – Sanon and Kharbanda, Pooja Hegde, Rana Daggubati, Amanda Rosario apart from Boman Irani and Nawazuddin Siddiqui among a host of others. There has been a change of director from Sajid Khan to Farhad Samji and both of them have been paid. Sajid Khan was replaced after the #MeToo controversy as was actor Nana Patekar who was also paid. The film also has two cinematographers capturing two eras — the 16th as well as the 21st century. There are seven music composers for the film as well. Add to all this there are multiple locations and a reshoot that took place making it the most expensive comedy film thus far.”
