There
were
times
when
A-list
actors
didn't
mind
working
together;
which
resulted
in
hits
like
Sholay,
Chupke
Chupke
and
Amar
Akbar
Anthony.
But
over
a
period
of
time
when
actors'
popularity
got
bigger
and
their
egos
too,
the
‘multi-star
cast'
formula
took
a
backseat.
But
with
releases
like
Dhoom
3,
Housefull
2
the
trend
is
coming
back.
The
third
instalment
of
the
Dhoom
series,
festured
Aamir
Khan
as
the
antagonist
paired
opposite
Katrina
Kaif.
Actors
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Uday
Chopra
reprise
their
roles
as
Jai
Dixit
and
Ali
Akbar,
respectively,
as
seen
is
previous
franchise.
Housefull
2
too
is
an
Indian
comedy
film
directed
by
Sajid
Khan
and
produced
by
Sajid
Nadiadwala.
It
was
the
sequel
to
the
2010
film,
Housefull
2
starred
Akshay
Kumar,
Asin
Thottumkal,
John
Abraham,
Jacqueline
Fernandez
in
lead
roles,
while,
Ritesh
Deshmuk,
Shreyas
Talpade,
Zarine
Khan,
Shazahn
Padamsee,
Randhir
Kapoor,
Rishi
Kapoor,
Mithun
Chakraborty
and
Boman
Irani
play
supporting
roles.
Many
upcoming
movies
with
multi
star
cast
like
a
sequel
to
No
Entry
Mein
Entry
are
being
made.
The
sequel
is
in
the
works,
with
the
original
male
cast
of
Salman
Khan,
Anil
Kapoor
and
Fardeen
Khan
all
rumoured
to
be
playing
double
roles.
This
gives
way
for
the
filmmakers
to
be
back
with
multistarrer
projects.
Here's
a
look
at
recent
multi-star
cast
movies
that
were
big
hits.
Dhoom
3
The
third
instalment
of
the
Dhoom
series,
festured
Aamir
Khan
as
the
antagonist
paired
opposite
Katrina
Kaif.
Actors
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Uday
Chopra
reprise
their
roles
as
Jai
Dixit
and
Ali
Akbar,
respectively,
as
seen
is
previous
franchise.
Dhoom
2
A
Movie
like
Dhoom
2
is
a
typical
example
of
why
a
multi-starrer
can
work
wonders.
If
each
character
is
etched
out
as
variedly
as
possible,
actors
can
live
in
harmony
without
having
to
worry
about
who
will
overshadow
whom.
That's
one
of
the
main
reasons
why
Dhoom
franchise
is
a
hit.
Golmaal
3
Since Golmaal was
already
a
brand
before
the
third
sequel
was
released,
the
opening
business
of
approx.
Rs
8
crores
wasn't
a
surprise.
The
movie
was
an
out-and-out
entertainer.
Housefull
As
much
as
people
hate
no-brainer
comedies,
it
doesn't
stop
them
from
going
for
one.
And
Sajid
Khan's Housefull
proved
just
that. Housefull's
success
was
so
huge
that
Sajid
planed
for
a
sequel.
Housefull2
The
sequel
to
Housefull
movie
was
a
bigger
hit
than
the
first
installment.
It
is
reported
that
the
third
installment
of
the
movies
is
on
the
way.
Omkara
Vishal
Bharadwaj's
adaptation
of
Shakespearean
tragedy Omkara (Othello)
didn't
go
down
well
with
the
viewers
initially,
thanks
to
the
use
of
explicit
language.
But,
the
sheer
brilliance
of
the
movie
had
the
crowd
thronging
to
the
theaters.
Besides,
item
songs
like Beedi
Jalaile
and
Namak
Ishq
ka just
added
to
the
popularity
of
the
movie
Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhie
Gham
It's
a
casting
coup
that
even
Karan
Johar
might
not
be
able
to
replicate
again.
Raajneeti
The
movie
that
highlights
dirty
politics
played
within
the
family,
was
a
big
hit
with
the
audience.
Apparently,
it
was
inspired
by
the
epic Mahabharata.
Although
Ranbir
Kapoor
grabbed
most
of
the
headlines,
the
rest
of
the
star
cast
wasn't
deprived
of
screen
space.
Yuva
Mani
Ratnam's
story
about
three
young
couples
and
how
their
lives
get
entangled
by
one
freak
accident,
was
an
instant
hit
with
the
young
audience.
