Farhad Samji roped in to write Housefull 4

If someone asks you to name one of the most successful comic capers in Bollywood, the first name that crosses your mind is the Housefull series. The franchise has seen three super successful parts so far and the work for the next instalment, Housefull 4, is underway.

The latest news regarding the project is that producer Sajid Nadiadwala has signed writer Farhad Samji to write the fourth instalment of the franchise. Interestingly, Farhad directed Housefull 3 with his brother Sajid Samji.


“Farhad needed a little bit of persuasion. He directed Housefull 3 with his brother Sajid Samji. They wrote the dialogues for it and Housefull 2," says a report.

“After their split, Farhad, who will now work independently, has been signed by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment as a writer-director for two projects. However, in the case of Housefull 4, he will only pen the screenplay and dialogues,” the reports adds.

According to reports, Sajid Nadiadwala is planning to make Housefull 4 on a lavish scale. While no announcement has been made about the cast of the film, Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh are expected to be retained in Housefull 4.

To be directed by Sajid Khan, the film is slated to release on Diwali 2019.

Touqir Islam on 'Delupi', Anurag Kashyap’s support and telling stories through cinema

Highlights

  • Bangladeshi filmmaker Mohammad Touqir Islam tells Eastern Eye how floods and the 2024 student-led movement inspired his debut feature Delupi.
  • The film combines real stories from a flood-hit village with fictional characters to explore resilience, political change and social divisions.
  • Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is helping present the film internationally ahead of its UK premiere.

When floods cut off a remote village in southern Bangladesh, its residents attempted to protect their homes by building a dam themselves. Their determination became the starting point for Delupi, the debut feature by filmmaker Mohammad Touqir Islam, which brings together environmental disaster, political upheaval and the lives of ordinary people.

The film began with two events that shaped Bangladesh in 2024. A student-led uprising led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government, while severe floods affected several parts of the country. In an exclusive interview with Eastern Eye, Touqir explained how these events led him to Deluti Union in Paikgachha, Khulna, where he found a story of people relying on one another when outside help failed to arrive.
