Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
gifts
his
Housefull
2
director
Sajid
Khan
a
hatke
gift
on
his
39th
b'day.
We
have
heard
of
unusual
gifts
but
this
one
takes
the
cake,
the
icing
and
the
cherry
on
top!
John
Abraham
is
producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala's
birthday
gift
to
director
Sajid
Khan,
as
he
had
been
dreaming
of
working
with
the
actor
for
a
long
time.
Khan
turns
39
today.
John
has
been
zeroed
in
as
one
of
the
main
characters
in
Khan's
next
Housefull
2
besides
Akshay
Kumar,
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Arjun
Rampal
and
Boman
Irani.
Says
the
director,
"I
want
to
make
Housefull
2
a
bigger
film
than
the
first
one,
which
raked
in
200
crore.
Adding
John
to
the
cast
makes
it
the
best
birthday
gift
for
me
and
my
film
even
bigger
and
better.
I
have
known
him
since
the
last
12
years
ever
since
his
Gladrags
days.
He
and
I
are
both
half-Parsis
and
have
gone
on
shows
to
Hong
Kong
and
the
Rockstar
world
tour.
“Akshay
and
he
share
a
great
chemistry
after
Garam
Masala.
They
are
very
comfortable
with
and
like
each
other.
Moreover,
John
has
a
huge
fan
base
with
girls
which
we
will
use
to
the
fullest
extent."
So
do
we
get
to
see
JA
wearing
swimming
trunks
again?
Sajid
says,
"I'll
make
sure
that
we
show
everything
the
audience
wants
to
see!"
Sajid's
throwing
a
birthday
party
at
Riteish
Deshmukh's
Juhu
home
tonight
for
his
Housefull
friends
which
include
Boman
Irani
and
his
wife,
Akshay
and
his
wife,
Arjun
Rampal
and
his
wife
Mehr
Jesia,
Chunky
and
Bhavna
Pandey,
Farah
Khan
and
Shirish
Kunder
and
John
too.
Though
Deepika
Padukone
is
expected
to
be
there,
Lara
Dutta
and
Jiah
Khan
won't,
as
they
are
out
of
town.
"It's
a
small
get-together
with
just
12
close
friends
and
family.
I
am
throwing
the
party
at
Riteish's
home
because
my
hall
is
being
painted.
Chunky
is
in
the
sequel
too,
as
he's
got
a
fan
following
after
Aakhri
Pasta.
I
plan
to
give
my
first
draft
of
Housefull
to
my
producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
tomorrow."
Khan
starts
Nadiadwala's
film
early
next
year.
"I
will
start
Housefull
2
in
May
next
year
and
then
Vashu's
film
in
December.
While
we
shot
Housefull
in
Italy
and
London,
we
plan
to
shoot
Housefull
2
in
France,
Mexico,
London
and
the
streets
of
Mumbai.
Housefull
2
is
a
brand
new
story
with
12
principal
characters
in
it."
