'Housefull 2' complete, to embark on a huge campaign

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,December 17 2011]

'Housefull 2' shooting is now complete and it is a big relief for all involved. Boasting of as as many as 22 major actors with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and John Abraham leading the cast along with Asin, Jacqueline Fernandez and Zarine Khan, the film was a huge challenge not just at the script stage but also logistically. Moreover with senior actors like Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty coming together, it was quite some task for Sajid Nadiadwala and Sajid Khan to ensure that everyone gets his/her due space, time and respect.

It is commendable to see the way such a huge cast and crew has come together by making their dates available and then completing the film in record time too. I guess now the next big challenge for both Sajids would be to come up with a poster design that would do justice to such a massive ensemble, a unit member quips.

While one waits to see as and when that happens, what with a strategic promotional campaign all set to be unveiled in the New Year, makers are happy that the film's shooting has gone as per the timelines and now good time, effort and energy can be put into the film's post production.

Says Sajid Nadiadwala, Well, all I can say is that wrapping up 'Housefull 2' in record time was a test for me as well. There is a certain goodwill that I have earned over the decades and it is paying off now.

The film is all set for 5th April release.
