In November last year, Akshay Kumar announced that his next film, Housefull 4, which also features Kriti Sanon, Bobby Deol, Pooja Hegde, Riteish Deshmukh and Kriti Kharbanda, had wrapped up. “While we have called it a ‘wrap’ for Housefull 4, fun never ends. See you all in 2019,” the Khiladi Kumar shared.

Now, Mirror has learnt that the lead cast is reuniting in a few weeks to shoot for a special song. “This time, the bunch will be joined by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who plays a baba living in a den with 300 disciples. Nawaz will make a special appearance in the song with all the six actors and around 500 back-up dancers. Farhad (Samji, director) and his team have been working on the song for over two weeks and will film it by the month-end,” informs a source close to the development.

This marks Nawaz’s reunion with producer Sajid Nadiadwala five years after he had featured as the much-appreciated antagonist Shiv Gajra in the filmmaker’s Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez-starrer directorial debut, Kick. According to a source close to the development, Nawaz’s character, an exorcist, will introduce an important twist in the plot.

The reincarnation comedy is divided between two eras with a major chunk shot in the UK. The past-life sequences were shot in Rajasthan. Mirror had earlier reported (February 28) that the father-daughter duo of Johnny and Jamie Lever have collaborated for the first time with the Diwali release. The film also features Chunky Panday and Rana Daggubati. “A huge set is being built at Mumbai’s Filmcity studio for the song which will be shot over five days and will be choreographed by Ganesh Acharya,” the source revealed.

The official spokesperson of the production house confirmed the news to Mirror.
