Housefull is a Sajid Nadiadwala comedy franchise that was originally made in 2010 with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Arjun Rampal. The film was directed by Sajid Khan, who also directed the second Housefull, replacing Arjun Rampal with John Abraham. Farhad-Sajid, who have directed Akshay Kumar's Entertainment, have been finalised for directing Housefull 3. We were the first to tell you that Abhishek Bachchan had been signed on with Akshay for this film. We have now learnt that the third boy is once again going to be Riteish, who gave his consent before going for his holiday with Genelia.
