No 'WAR' on this! Akshay Kumar's 'Housefull 4' trailer to arrive earlier than expected

Akshay Kumar fans have been eagerly waiting for an update on Housefull 4. The trailer of the film was expected to release on October 2, along with the release of Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff starrer WAR.

Shunning that news and revealing when the trailer of Housefull 4 will actually be unveiled, a source revealed to Bollywood Hungama that a glimpse of the movie featuring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda and Pooja Hegde, will be available to the audiences soon i.e. on September 27.

The source revealed, “Earlier, reports said that the trailer will be out in the third week of September. But the plan is to release the trailer on September 27. Before it is unveiled on digital platforms, it’ll be launched formally at a grand event in Mumbai on the same day. Housefull 4 is arguably the costliest film of the year and also one of the most awaited films ever since it was announced in 2017. The trailer launch, hence, will also be grand and highly exciting. Not just the lead actors – Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda and Pooja Hegde, will be present but the rest of the cast like Rana Daggubati, Johny Lever, Jamie Lever, Ranjeet, Chunky Panday, Sharad Kelkar etc will also be in attendance. And of course, the captains of the ship – producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Farhad Samji will be present too. The team of the film have planned gags that the actors will enact in keeping in mind the funny and even reincarnation theme of the film. It’ll be something to watch out for!”

When asked about the trailer being attached to Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff starrer WAR, the source mentioned, “Not true. The trailer is not attached with WAR. However, Fox Star Studios and Nadiadwala Grandsons have spoken to the major multiplex chains and asked them to play the Housefull 4 trailer before starting WAR. WAR is also an exciting film and is bound to get audiences in hordes. So this will be a good opportunity to let viewers enjoy the grandeur and visual appeal of Housefull 4 on the big screen.”

Housefull 4 was previously being directed by Sajid Khan, who was let go of a project after #MeToo accusation on him. The project was then passed on to Farhad Samji, who also helmed Housefull 3. The movie is slated to release alongside Rajkummar Rao starrer Made In China and Anurag Kashyap's Saand Ki Aankh featuring Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles.
