Sajid
Khan,
whose
next
film
would
have
no
comedy,
has
taken
a
peculiar
mannat
(religious
vow)
just
before
the
release
of
Housefull.
He
decided
he
wouldn't
read
any
of
the
reviews,
good,
bad
or
indifferent,
for
the
film.
So
staunch
is
he
about
the
vow
that
Sajid
wouldn't
allow
any
member
of
the
Housefull
cast
to
even
read
out
passages
of
the
reviews.
Says
Sajid,
"It
isn't
as
if
I've
anything
against
critics.
It's
just
a
mannat
I
took
during
release.
You
see,
I
had
actually
satirized
all
the
critics
through
a
song
I
had
composed
naming
them
on
stage
at
an
awards
function.
There
and
then
I
decided
I
have
no
right
to
read
reviews
for
my
films."
That's
how
the
mannat
happened.
On
Saturday
morning
when
the
favourable
reviews
appeared
Sajid's
team
began
calling
him
excitedly.
Sajid
simply
wouldn't
hear
of
it!
When
Akshay
tried
to
read
out
passages,
Sajid
drowned
his
voice
by
screaming.
"I
believe
the
reviews
are
good.
But
I'm
not
reading
them.
I
don't
even
want
to
know
what's
in
them.
My
loss.
It's
between
me
and
my
conscience."
