Housefull
has
released
and
other
than
a
dozen
odd
things
for
which
the
film
has
been
noticed,
loved
and
seeing
repeat
audience,
it
is
the
crackling
chemistry
between
real
and
reel
life
friendship
of
Akshay
Kumar
and
Riteish
Deshmukh
which
is
for
all
to
see.
The
'jodi'
has
been
unanimously
acknowledged
and
loved
by
one
and
all
and
it
is
remarkable
to
see
even
the
junior
actor
turning
out
to
be
a
scene
stealer
in
many
a
scene
which
has
Akshay
keeping
himself
on
the
back
foot.
As
Riteish
Deshmukh
talks
fondly
about
Akshay
and
rest
with
this
correspondent,
he
also
dispels
the
myth
surrounding
the
superstar
pertaining
to
him
uses
his
editing
scissors
to
perfection
by
cutting
off
the
roles
of
his
co-stars.
Despite
Housefull
featuring
Akshay
Kumar
as
the
central
protagonist,
you
have
to
your
credit
some
of
the
best
scenes
in
the
film.
No
role
cutting
by
Akshay
here?
Time
and
again
I
am
faced
with
this
question
that
'Akshay
role
kaat-ta
hai'.
I
don't
know
where
does
this
all
come
from.
At
least
I
have
never
witnessed
any
such
thing.
On
the
contrary
we
all
sat
together
for
the
betterment
of
the
film.
During
the
course
of
the
film,
there
were
instances
when
he
himself
asked
for
a
scene
of
his
to
be
cut
off.
Well,
audiences
had
their
hands
full
with
both
you
and
Akshay
on
frame.
Tell
me
Riteish,
when
it
comes
to
comic
timing,
both
you
and
Akshay
have
been
known
for
doing
quite
well
over
the
years.
Did
it
lead
to
some
kind
of
healthy
competition
between
the
two
of
you?
Not
at
all.
As
I
said,
it
was
a
healthy
collective
effort.
There
are
so
many
lines
that
Akshay
gave
to
me
in
the
film.
Even
for
the
much
talked
about
climax
sequence,
he
gave
me
one
of
the
best
punch
lines.
I
also
came
up
with
my
own
suggestions.
See,
I
really
consider
him
as
a
good
friend
of
mine.
I
have
spent
a
year
with
him,
Sajid
Khan
and
Sajid
Nadiadwala.
We
all
often
meet
for
a
cup
of
coffee
and
dinner.
We
watch
cricket
and
discuss
a
lot
of
things
other
than
movies
as
well.
I
really
cherish
the
kind
of
relationship
that
the
four
of
us
share.
It
seems
you
share
a
great
relationship
with
Lara
Dutta
too.
First
Do
Knot
Disturb
and
now
Housefull,
it
has
been
quite
some
association
between
the
two
of
you.
I
enjoy
working
with
Lara.
I
feel
she
is
one
of
the
funniest
girls
whom
we
have
in
the
industry
today.
It's
really
great
to
have
her
around
and
work
with
her.
Also,
since
I
am
good
friends
with
her,
it
makes
it
all
the
more
easier.
In
her
professional
life
though,
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
an
easy
situation
for
her.
Though
she
has
been
around
for
so
long
and
doing
consistently
well,
don't
you
too
feel
that
she
is
someone
who
has
not
yet
got
her
due?
I
think
she
is
doing
great
for
herself.
I
can't
and
should
not
comment
on
whether
she
has
got
her
due
or
not.
She
has
been
choosing
her
roles
carefully
and
doing
well
every
time.
She
is
talented
and
I
am
sure
she
is
made
for
better
things
in
months
to
come.
For
you
too,
it
must
have
been
a
huge
relief.
After
Aladin,
Rann
and
Jaane
Kahan
Se
Aayi
Hai,
you
now
have
a
huge
money
spinner
in
your
hands
in
the
form
of
Housefull.
Relieved?
Of
course
yes.
In
fact
I
was
wondering
if
audience
and
critics
would
be
kind
to
me
because
indulging
into
the
kind
of
humour
that
Housefull
carries
is
always
a
risky
business.
You
never
know
when
and
how
you
will
end
getting
bashed.
But
thankfully
everyone
has
been
unanimously
nice
to
me
and
the
jokes
that
I
have
cracked
in
the
film.
Glad
to
see
it
all
working
out
after
all.
You
also
bettered
yourself
physically
for
your
film
and
developed
those
six
pack
abs.
How
come
you
never
spoke
much
about
then
when
other
lesser
actors
continue
to
tom-tom
about
their
physical
appearance
at
the
drop
of
the
hat?
I
developed
these
six
packs
primarily
for
the
film
and
mainly
for
just
one
song
-
'Oh
Girl,
You
Are
Mine'.
But
that
doesn't
mean
that
at
any
public
function,
social
gathering
or
in
private
parties,
I
start
removing
my
shirt
and
try
to
project
those
abs.
One
should
promote
a
film
as
a
whole,
not
yourself
for
your
physicality.
Sajid
and
Co.
didn't
leave
any
stones
unturned
for
the
film's
promotion
though
and
as
things
stand
today,
the
film
is
all
set
to
be
in
the
biggest
league
of
box
office
openers.
I
know.
The
film
was
meant
to
be
an
out
and
out
entertainer
and
I
am
glad
it
has
turned
out
to
be
mix
of
massy
and
a
classy
mix.
It
is
catering
to
multiplexes,
single
screens,
masses
and
classes
across
all
age
groups.
Sajid
(Khan)
was
always
so
confident
about
this
that
even
at
the
beginning
of
the
shoot,
he
gave
me
a
letter
that
stated
'Welcome
to
the
biggest
hit
of
your
career'.
Last
time
when
he
did
that
for
Heyy
Babyy
I
doubted
that.
The
film
went
on
to
cross
50
crores
just
in
India.
This
time
he
aimed
for
bigger
and
as
we
all
can
see,
such
collections
would
be
very
comfortably
surpassed
in
the
matter
of
days.
