How can we forget the comical Housefull? Directed by Sajid Khan and starring Akshay Kumar as the lead protagonist role while Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan, Ritesh Deshmukh and Arjun Rampal featuring in supporting roles. Boman Irani and Randhir Kapoor also play important supporting roles in the film. Jacqueline Fernandez has a special appearance in the film. The film was shot over several months in London and Italy. The film is said to be a remake of 1998 Tamil film Kaathala Kaathala. The film was released on 30 April 2010 across more than 750 screens in India. It saw quite a good reponse from the audiences who just wanted to sit back relax and watch a Romcom kind of movie. Now Sajid Khan has made a promise to his team as well as the audience to come up with a sequel of this movie. Standing up to his promise Sajid is almost set to get the movie on the floors soon enough. He is confident that the film would prove to be 10 times funnier than the first in the series."The entire team is quite gung-ho about the sequel to Housefull. The script has come up pretty fabulously. God willing, Housefull 2 will be biggest 'paisa vasool' entertainer for the audience", says Sajid confidently.
Shooting of Housefull 2 will kick start in middle of 2011 and wrap up in three months flat. Yet again, producer Sajid Nadiadwala would be making Housefull 2 a treat for the eye by shooting in some exotic locations like the previous movie.
Talking about the film's setup, it indeed is turning out to be the biggest ever for a Nadiadwala production. From the original cast of Housefull, Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani and Chunkey Pandey have been retained. Though Lara Dutta and Jiah Khan are not really making the cut in the sequel, there are good chances of Arjun Rampal finding his way into the film. However, John Abraham is the confirmed new entrant in Housefull 2. We just hope the movie stand up to its prequel!
