Controversy-hit Housefull 4 gets release date!

Housefull 4 will hit the theatres next Diwali.

Akshay Kumar and Kriti Sanon recently wrapped up shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala's next production, Housefull 4.

The film, which also stars Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Pooja Hegde, Kriti Kharbanda, Rana Daggubati and Chunky Panday, will release next Diwali. The gap, however, seems unusually long, given that the shooting is now complete. 

Kriti shared a group photograph from the sets (above) and announced the film's wrap on her Instagram account: 'And this mad fun crazy ride comes to an end!! It's a wrap for #Housefull4 .. Been so so much fun being around this crazy yet loving bunch! can't wait for you guys to join on Diwali 2019.'

Talking about her experience of working with Akshay Kumar, the 28-year-old shared a selfie (above) and wrote, 'Dilliwaalas with their gummy smiles! It was such a pleasure working with you sir!! Thank you for being so amazing, so chilled, so funny and soooo punjabi! @akshaykumar your constant urge to add something new to the scenes to make it better is inspiring.'

As for Riteish, Kriti wrote, 'Rits!! You are one of the nicest people i have ever come across! So glad that i got to know you... A fabulous actor and an even better human being! Stay the same and pls keep in touch...will miss our chats & word-links!'

Not too long ago, Housefull 4 had grabbed headlines when director Sajid Khan was named in the #MeToo movement.

After the controversy, Khan was ousted from the project along with Nana Patekar, who was named by Tanushree Dutta for harassing her on the sets of the film Horn 'Ok' Pleassss.  

Rana Daggubati has stepped in for Nana Patekar.
