"Time and again I hear
directors claim that making so and so film was akin to a holiday for them. I
never experienced any such joy during the film.
"While in ‘Heyy Babyy’ as well as ‘Housefull’ I was having a good
time during their making, in case of ‘Housefull 2’ my concentration has
been on ensuring that audience have a good time. This has been my
hardest film till date," Sajid told PTI.
The film, sequel to the 2010 ‘Housefull’, is also the biggest film
ever mounted by producer Sajid Nadiadwala and the director said that it
is much bigger in all aspects than the first instalment.
"’Housefull 2' is a must see film. While the screenplay is water
tight, the presentation is on a much bigger canvas as well. In fact the
budget here is twice as that of 'Housefull' while the scale is four
times bigger," Khan said.
‘Housefull 2’ features actors from the original like Akshay
Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh alongwith new additions John Abraham, Asin,
Jacqueline Fernandez, Zarine Khan, Shazahn Padamsee and Shreyas Talpade.
It also stars veteran actors such as Mithun Chakraborty, Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and Boman Irani in supporting roles.
"Nadiadwala and I often discussed that this was a huge decision to make a film of this scale and cast in today's times.
"Fortunately there were no egos amongst my actors as well as crew
members due to which we could finish the film in time. With so many
actors working for the first time with each other, the film could have
gone in the making for a year and half," Sajid said.
‘Housefull 2’ will hit the theatres on April 5.
