Sajid Nadiadwala’s laugh-a-riot film franchise Housefull 4 is in news once again for the hunt of its ensemble cast. The film franchise that usually ropes in a number of actors to present a comedy harping on confusion and mayhem is once again being talked about. After Kriti Sanon and Pooja Hegde were signed on as the two female leads, the hunt for the third leading lady opposite Riteish Deshmukh was on. Speculations were rife that MS Dhoni: The Untold Story actress Kiara Advani was signed on but now reports are coming in that it is Kriti Kharbanda who has been roped in to play the romantic interest in the comic caper.

The producer laid all rumours to rest about the star cast of his film when he welcomed his three leading ladies with adorable and heartfelt messages. He sent out personalized messages with flowers to Kriti Sanon, Pooja Hegde and Kriti Kharbanda for making it to the Housefull 4 family.

On who will make the cut to be a part of the star-studded ensemble, a source revealed to a leading daily, “There were some discussions about the casting and while some wanted Kiara, many felt Kriti will fit the role perfectly. The film’s team has Kriti on board and this will be her second consecutive comedy franchise film after Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se.” Kriti made her Bollywood debut with Raaz: Reboot and followed it up with Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana opposite Rajkummar Rao.  Kriti will once again share screen space with Bobby Deol in Housefull 4 as the two star in Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se too.

Housefull 4 has an envious star cast with Akshay Kumar leading the pack. Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh, Chunky Pandey, Boman Irani, Kriti Sanon, Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol are the other actors who star in the film. Sajid Khan who directed the first two installments of the film franchise is back at the helm with this fourth part. The third film Housefull 3 was directed by Sajid-Farhad.
