The
one
thing
that
you
need
to
hand
over
to
Housefull
director
Sajid
Khan
is
his
confidence.
His
new
statement
-
"Housefull
will
be
the
biggest
Hit
of
2010"
-
has
raised
eyebrows,
but
knowing
Sajid
and
his
penchant
for
providing
entertainment,
the
statement
has
only
enhanced
the
curiosity
for
the
film.
"It's
not
over-confidence,
mind
you.
I
know
that
Housefull
will
work
big
time
at
the
box-office.
This
one's
purely
for
the
entertainment-seeking
audience," Sajid
explains
his
stand,
"The
reason
why
95%
of
films
fail
year
after
year
is
because
we
aren't
providing
the
audience
with
what
they
want:
Loads
of
entertainment.
Housefull
will
do
that.
Housefull
will
bring
'house
full'
boards
back."
Meanwhile,
Akshay
Kumar,
the
lead
man
of
Housefull,
is
so
gung
ho
about
the
film
that
he
gifted
a
watch
to
Sajid,
after
the
actor
watched
the
final
cut
of
the
film.
While
on
Akshay,
there's
talk
that
Sajid
was
instrumental
in
getting
Akshay
on
board
in
Tees
Maar
Khan,
which
Sajid's
sister
Farah
Khan
is
directing.
Reportedly,
when
Shahrukh
Khan
was
toying
with
which
project
to
start
first
-
Anubhav
Sinha's
or
Farah's,
Sajid
suggested
that
Farah
shouldn't
wait
endlessly
and
decided
to
arrange
a
meeting
with
Akshay
and
Farah.
"Farah
and
I
don't
discuss
work.
In
fact,
I
don't
even
know
what
the
script
of
Tees
Maar
Khan
is,"
Sajid
states,
"I
swear,
I
didn't
even
know
Farah
had
met
Akshay
and
spoken
to
her
about
the
film,
till
Sajid
(Nadiadwala)
and
Farah
called
me
over
and
broke
the
news.
Nor
did
Akshay
ever
discuss
Tees
Maar
Khan
with
me.
Farah
has
a
mind
of
her
own."
