Bareilly Ki Barfi actress, Kriti Sanon, has signed her second film — Housefull 4 — with her mentor, Sajid Nadiadwala. Sajid had given Kriti a dream launch with the superhit film, Heropanti (2014). And now, he has brought her on board for the fourth installment of one of India’s most successful movie franchises, Housefull.

She is the first actress to be announced from the cast, which also includes Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol and Riteish Deshmukh. The team will be treating audiences to the movie on Diwali, 2019.

With this film, there are a lot of firsts for Kriti. Along with marking her debut in the genre of pure comedy, this is also her maiden role in a franchise. The actress, who is basking in the success of Bareilly Ki Barfi, will soon start shooting for Housefull 4.

Kriti confirms, “Joining the cast of Housefull 4 is like coming back home. My journey started with Sajid sir in Heropanti. Since then, he has always been there for me and guided me. I can’t wait to work with him again and that too, in the super-successful Housefull franchise!”

Directed by Sajid Khan, who also directed the first two installments of the movie, the fourth part will revolve around the theme of reincarnation.

Kriti Sanon, who has been basking in the success of her last release, Bareilly Ki Barfi, will now be seen in Housefull 4. This will be her second film with her mentor, Sajid Nadiadwala. The filmmaker had taken Kriti under his wings and launched her in his home production, Heropanti (2014).

The action-romance was a dream debut for Kriti and this announcement is like homecoming for the model-turned-actress who hails from Delhi. Even as she was doing movies with other banners, she stayed in touch with the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment (NGE) family, the first people she got to know when she entered Bollywood.

Sajid, too, was waiting for the right film to cast her again. At the moment, it looks like there couldn’t have been a better and bigger movie than the fourth instalment of his successful Housefull franchise for them to collaborate.

Says Kriti, “Joining the cast of Housefull 4 is like coming back home. My journey started with Sajid sir in Heropanti. Since then, he has always been there for me and has guided me. I can’t wait to work with him again and that too, in the super-successful Housefull franchise!”

This epic laugh riot will be directed by Sajid Khan, who had helmed the first two instalments. Touted as a reincarnation drama, it will be mounted on a huge budget and set in two eras. Toplining Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol and Riteish Deshmukh, the team is gearing up to make Diwali 2019 a bumper celebration.
