In one of his earlier interviews, Sajid had revealed, “I regret a lot that I couldn’t do Housefull 3. Sajid Nadiadwala and I are back together. He is my brother and we have been friends for 17 years.

We are working on Housefull 4 now.”

A Reunion Of Old Friends

Earlier in a media interaction while speaking about the film, Akshay said, ” It’s been a while since I have done a full-on comedy film. It’s a genre that I really enjoy working in. I am looking forward to that film. Housefull 4 is going to be like a three-month vacation. For me, it’s like a reunion of old friends.” The film top-lining Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Ritesh Deshmukh and Kriti Sanon is slated for a Diwali 2019 release.
