The makers of 'Housefull' franchise are planning to come up with 'Housefull 3'.
The first installment in the series, which was directed by Sajid Khan, had Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal, Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta in the lead roles.
In the sequel 'Housefull 2', besides Akshay and Riteish from the original film, the new additions were John Abraham, Asin, Jacqueline Fernandez, Zarine Khan, Shazahn Padamsee and Shreyas Talpade.
Both the films are made under Sajid Nadiadwala's banner. Nadiadwala has roped in popular writer-turned-director duo Sajid-Farhad, replacing Sajid Khan.
"Besides Jacqueline, we plan to rope in two top actresses as well," according to the source.
Sajid and Farhad Samji are known for their witty one-liners in superhit films like 'Bol Bachchan', 'Housefull 2', 'Ready', 'Golmaal Returns' and 'Golmaal 3', among others.
After tasting success as writers, the duo have taken to film direction with their first directorial venture titled as 'It's Entertainment' casting Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah in the lead.
"They (Sajid and Farhad) will start working on 'Housefull 3' after 'It's Entertainment'. 'Housefull 3' will go on floors by the end of the year," sources said.
