The Housefull team returns with its fourth instalment next year. While Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh are already on board, the other members of the principal cast are yet to be finalised.

We hear that Bobby Deol has been approached for the Sajid Khan directorial. Says a source, “Sajid Nadiadwala and Sajid Khan are close to Bobby and they felt he would fit the role. Talks are still on. They are yet to sign the actor but mostly, he will give the nod to this film.”

A hat-trick of franchises
Bobby went through a low phase but now, he has a few big projects lined up. After Race 3 and Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se, Housefull 4 will be another franchise for the 51-year-old.

Filming in June
The comedy, which is based on the theme of reincarnation, will also have a portion with a period setting. “Shooting for Housefull 4 begins in June this year. It will be 2019’s Diwali release,” adds the source.
