Director duo Sajid-Farhad would soon be stepping into the shoes of ‘Humshakals’ director Sajid Khan to direct ‘Housefull 3’. But the duo think that Sajid Khan has been trashed enough for his films, ‘Humshakals’ and ‘Himmatwala’ both of which were box office duds, and it is time to let him be.
It’s noted that ever since Sajid’s last film ‘Humshakals’ hit the screens, not just the critics, but the film’s cast including Saif Ali Khan and Bipasha Basu, too criticised him. Reacting to these developments, Sajid of the Sajid-Farhad fame said that “It’s getting too much for Sajid Khan… it’s enough… just let him be now.
“Everybody has to face downfall and the same goes for us as well. If he has given two flops, one should not forget the three hits that he had delivered… We should stop criticising Sajid and move on. It’s just a bad phase (for him), that’s it,” he added.
Whereas Farhad said, “Just because we are directing ‘Housefull 3’ that doesn’t mean there is any tension between us. In fact, we got a call from (producer) Sajid Nadiadwala to direct the film. We will start shooting from early next year and since it’s a big brand, we will not take it for granted.”
It’s noted that the ‘Housefull’ 1 and 2 were directed by Sajid Khan.
‘Housefull 3’ will feature Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish
Deshmukh among others.
