Pooja Hegde ecstatic as Housefull 4 becomes a huge blockbuster

Starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda and Pooja Hegde in central characters, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment’s latest offering Housefull 4 has been running in theatres for more than a month now. Helmed by writer-director Farhad Samji, the reincarnation comedy hit the marquee on 25th October and has been making money ever since.

Several new films have come and gone in the past one month, but none could challenge the holdover of Housefull 4 at the domestic box-office. The comic-caper currently stands with a grand total of approximately Rs 205.70 crore. It is just Rs 20-25 lakhs behind Golmaal Again (2017), the fourth instalment of Rohit Shetty’s superhit comedy franchise Golmaal.


Since there is no big competition till Panipat and Pati Patni Aur Woh arrive in cinemas on 6th December and take away a large chunk of theatres, Housefull 4 will have a steady run and will surpass the lifetime collection of the Rohit Shetty directorial to become the highest comedy grosser of Bollywood.

Pooja Hegde, who made her Bollywood debut with Mohenjo Daro 2016, received praises for her performance in Housefull 4. She is elated with the thunderous success of the film at the cash counter. "(It) feels amazing when the film makes the money as it means that the audience has loved it and are coming to watch it. We made a mad and fun film and my heartfelt gratitude to the audience for appreciating it,” said the actress.

Speculations are rife in Bollywood corridors that buoyed up by the huge success of Housefull 4, producer Sajid Nadiadwala is planning Housefull 5. Deepika Padukone, who played one of the female leads in the first instalment, might return to the franchise to pair up opposite Akshay Kumar who has been a regular in all the parts of Housefull.

Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt

Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.

The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”

Harvey Weinstein's retrial begins with accusations of 'psychological hold' on victims

The retrial of former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein began in New York on Tuesday, after his 2020 rape conviction was overturned by the state’s Court of Appeals. Weinstein, 72, is being re-tried on charges of rape and sexual assault, which originally led to a 23-year prison sentence. He has pleaded not guilty.

The original conviction was quashed on grounds that the trial court allowed testimony from women whose allegations were not directly tied to the charges, which the appeals court ruled deprived Weinstein of a fair trial.
