MUMBAI:
Moving ahead of Judwaa 2 has proven to be beneficial
in ways more than one for both Sajid Nadiadwala and
Sajid Khan. Since earlier Sajid Khan was supposed to
be in charge of both the films, they were meant to be
spaced out. However, with a new director coming on board
for Judwaa 2, Sajid Khan would be beginning work on
Housefull 3, hence releasing it in April 2014.
"This
also means that the trend of one Housefull flick releasing
every two years in the month of April would be maintained",
says our well placed source, "If Sajid Khan would
have started work on Judwaa, he would have been forced
to delay Housefull 3 even further. He is anyways working
on Himmatwala currently and plans to release it next
year. After that, if he would have done Judwaa 2, the
wait would have prolonged for Housefull 3. However,
now after Himmatwala, he can solely concentrate on Housefull
3."
Since
Housefull is the flagship franchise of Nadiadwala, he
too is in a happy state since the next instalment would
now release much earlier.
"Yet
again, the film would clash with IPL though",
adds a trade source, "In a way IPL is beneficial
instead of being jinxed for the Housefull series.
This has been proven in the first two films in the
franchise and now yet again both Sajids want to take
IPL heads-on."
With
the film definitely on the cards, the myth around
all not well between them has also been dispelled.
"They
can't be expected to work with each other in practically
every film. If Sajid Khan is currently doing Himmatwala,
Sajid Nadiadwala too has directors like Imtiaz Ali
and Kabir Khan lined up", says a common friend,
"Both of them have maintained that they are friends
first. They will keep making movies together but only
if they both are passionate about the subject."
Akshay
Kumar is the only superstar who has one release in
every three month or so. This year he already made
his mark with two 100 cr blockbusters "Housefull
2" and "Rowdy Rathore". He will have
two more major release in August and October in "Joker'
and "Oh My God!".
Akshay
Kumar has also some interesting releases lined up
for next year and one of his most awaited film where
he will be seen in rather different type of character
is "Special Chabbis". This film is being
directed by Neeraj Pandey who directed the commercially
successful and critically acclaimed "A Wesnesday".
The film is based on a real life heist and also stars
Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher and Kaajal Aggrawal.
But
the big news is that the makers have locked the release
date of the film. Viacom 18 and Wide Frame will be
releasing the film on 8th Februray 2013. This means
Akshay planning to start 2013 with the bang!
