During
the
trailer
launch
of

actor
Akshay
Kumar
said
that
he
wants
the
Housefull
franchise
to
be
like
a
'comedy
Avengers'.
While
speaking
at
the
launch,
Akshay
said
that
he
had
spoken
to
Sajid
(Nadiadwala,
producer)
about
making
a
film
with
all
characters
returning.
A
Mumbai
Mirror
report
quoted
him
as
saying,
"I've
even
spoken
to
Sajid
(Nadiadwala,
producer)
about
a
film
which
has
all
the
characters
returning.
It
will
be
our
own
Comedy
Avengers."
Directed
by

Samji,
Housefull

in
all
instalments.

Kriti
Sanon,
Kriti
Kharbanda,
Pooja
Hegde,
Bobby
Deol
and
Chunky

also
feature
in
Housefull

While
Deepika
Padukone
and

of

the
second

had
John
Abraham,

other
hand,

Housefull
film.
Sajid
Khan
who
had
directed
the
first
two
instalments
of
the
Housefull
franchise,
had
to
step
down
after
he
was
accused
of
sexual
harassment
by
three
women.
Farhad
Samji
took
over
as
the
director
to
finish
the
film.
The
actor
in
an
interview
to
Hindustan
Times
said,
"Most
of
my
films
be
it
Padman
(2018),
Toilet:
Ek
Prem
Katha
(2017)
or
even
Mission
Mangal,
they
have
one
more
thing
-
women's
empowerment.
But
I've
to
do
a
Housefull,
a
Rowdy
Rathore
and
a
Good
News
also.
So,
it's
not
that
this
[issue-based
films]
is
the
only
thing
I
do.
Whenever
I
get
a
chance
and
a
good
script,
I'll
do
it.
I
want
to
have
all
kinds
of
films
in
my
kitty."
