Here’s how Kriti Kharbanda is preparing for her role in Housefull 4

Kriti Kharbanda, who made her Bollywood debut with Raaz Reboot (2016), the fourth instalment of one of the most successful horror film franchises Raaz (2002), has not had much success in Hindi films. However, things could change positively for her after her big-ticket film Housefull 4 hits the theatres next year.

Kriti is one of the female leads in the fourth instalment of the Housefull (2010) series, which also stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Boman Irani, Sanjay Dutt, Chunky Panday, Kriti Sanon and Pooja Hegde, among others.


The film is about to begin production in mid-July, but Kriti has started preparing for her part well in advance. “The storyline of Housefull 4 is set in two eras as it is based on the theme of reincarnation. I am grateful to Sajid Nadiadwala for this opportunity to play two different characters in one film. I am currently watching a lot of videos online to understand comic timing since shooting for a comedy isn’t easy and the Housefull franchise is all about the laughs.”

Apart from Housefull 4, the actress also plays the lead role in the forthcoming comic-caper, Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se. The film stars Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. Kriti is opposite Bobby in the movie. Helmed by Navaniat Singh, the film enters cinemas on 15th August, 2018.

Housefull 4, which is being directed by Sajid Khan, is a Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment production. It releases on Diwali, next year.

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
