One of the most-awaited comic-capers of the year 2019, Housefull 4 has one more star to boast the presence of. Yes, after Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Bobby Deol, superstar Sanjay Dutt has also joined the ensemble cast of the upcoming big-ticket comic flick.

According to a source, the Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003) actor signed the project last month. He will be seen in a never-seen-before comic avatar in the Sajid Nadiadwala produced movie.


“Sanjay had come on-board the film last month, but the actor’s character has been kept under wraps as Nadiadwala, a long-term friend of the actor, has a grand launch planned for the actor’s never-seen-before comic avatar,” told the source to a tabloid.

Talking about the female leads of the comic-caper, Kriti Sanon and Pooja Hegde have been officially confirmed, while Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana (2017) actress Kriti Kharbanda's name is doing the rounds for the third female lead.

Housefull 4, which is the next part of the Housefull (2010) series, will be helmed by director Sajid Khan who also called the shots for the first two instalments of the franchise. Sajid Nadiadwala is producing the movie in association with Fox Star Studios.

The movie, which begins production in next few months, is dated to release on Diwali, 2019.
