After Kriti Sanon, Kiara Advani to join the cast of Housefull 4

While Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Bobby Deol have been confirmed as the male leads in the much-awaited comic-caper Housefull 4, Kriti Sanon is the only actress who has joined the cast as the female lead.

According to some reports, at least two more slots for female leads are vacant in the movie and the makers are keen to lock them as soon as possible. Amidst all this, the latest we hear is that the makers have almost finalized actress Kiara Advani to play one of the female leads in Housefull 4.


Kiara, who rose to fame after playing a pivotal part in Neeraj Pandey's superhit film MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, was last seen in Abbas-Mustan's Machine which did not perform as per expectations. If she comes onboard as the second female lead in Housefull 4, the move will definitely propel her career in the right direction because Housefull, by all means, is one of the biggest and most successful film franchises produced in Bollywood.

Some sources also reveal that Kiara will be paired opposite Riteish Deshmukh in Housefull 4. The modalities are being worked out. Though Kiara has given her final nod to the project, she is yet to sign it on the dotted line.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 4 will be directed by Sajid Khan. The film is scheduled to release on Diwali 2019.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
