The film saw a couple of replacements during its filming. Nana Patekar was replaced by Rana Daggubatui and the chair of the director was taken by Farhad Samji in the wake of the MeToo movement. Earlier the film was helmed by Sajid Khan who stepped down from the role amid sexual harassment allegations against him.
Housefull 3 was released in 2016 and starred Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh along with Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon. The film did unexpectedly well at the ticket counters and minted over Rs 100 crore.
Now if Housefull 4 will entertain the movie buffs in equal measure or not will be known next year in 2019. Bankrolled by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film will release around Diwali, 2019.
