Akshay Kumar plays coolest role of his career in ‘Housefull 2′: Sajid Khan

Mumbai – Sajid Khan is busy with the sequel to his comedy “Housefull” and says that Akshay Kumar will be seen in a never before seen avatar in it.

In “Housefull 2″, Akshay’s role has apparently gone back to the storyboard. “Golmaal” writers Sajid-Farhad have been roped in to write the part.

“We’ve really enhanced the cool quotient for Akshay in ‘Housefull 2′. The Akshay that you’ll see in ‘Housefull 2′ has never been seen before,” said Sajid.

According to sources, the script for the sequel has devised some of the scariest action sequences ever. Apparently Akshay’s introductory stunt in “Housefull 2″ would be directed by Robert Alonzo who is Tom Cruise’s stunt co-ordinator in “Mission Impossible 4″.

Sajid doesn’t deny the James Bond influence on “Housefull 2″. 

He said: “If Akshay played a ‘Sad Sack’ in ‘Housefull’, he plays the coolest character of his career in ‘Housefull 2′. Yes, James Bond is a deep influence on me. As a child I remember seeing exotic countries as locations in the Bond films.”

Asin to sport swimwear

Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull 2, which Sajid Khan is directing and stars Akshay Kumar and Asin, holds a quirky surprise for its viewers. For the first time, Asin will don a never-before-seen glamorous avatar.

Our source said, "The whole idea was to make her undergo the same transformation that Aishwarya Rai underwent for Dhoom 2.

That's why they hired the same designer Aki Narula to design for Asin, who will now sport sarongs and sizzling swimwear."

When contacted, Sajid Nadiadwala confirmed the news and said, "Yes it is. The film will be shot at places like Italy and Greece and such costumes are necessary for this script."

Sajid Khan said, "I am very excited about working with Asin; not only is she a very good actor and dancer but also a superstar in the south. Our script demanded her in a new look, which will surprise the audience completely."

Let's wait for the effect it has on Asin's dad.

Asin steps out of 'Housefull 2' for Rajni?

Asin, like Deepika Padukone, may ditch Akshay Kumar for Rajinikanth...

It is common knowledge that Deepika Padukone opted out of the Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Housefull 2' to be a part of Rajinikanth's 'Rana'. Asin, was then cast as the lead heroine opposite Akshay Kumar, but it seems, she will soon follow in Deepika's footsteps. Talks have it that Asin, too, has been approached to be a part of the same film – 'Rana', which is to release in three versions – Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Rajinikanth plays a triple role in Rana', and while Deepika will romance one Rajini, Asin, it is being learnt, may romance another. Based on a mega-budget, and co-produced by daughter Soundarya, the makers are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that 'Rana' becomes a larger than life project.

On account of this, the makers of 'Housefull 2' (produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Sajid Khan) seem to be facing the brunt. Who will romance the third Rajni in 'Rana'? Are the filmmakers just waiting for the 'Housefull 2' crew to announce yet another lead heroine, whom they can approach? Every time Sajid tires to build this 'house', our dear Rajni seems to be bringing it down.

After Deepika, Nana says 'No' to Housefull 2

There are talks that Nana Patekar who was to do Housefull 2 has appealed to be let off...

Sajid Khan was so confident about 'Housefull' that he had already planned a sequel to the film - something he is already working on. Actress Deepika Padukone who was in Part 1 opted out of doing the sequel as she chose to do Rajinikanth's Rana, and thus didn't have dates to allocate to this venture.

Now Nana Patekar, who had said yes for the project, is backing out. The reason cited for this is his little laadla Malhar, who is all set to make his film debut with a movie that will be directed by Nana Patekar himself. And Patekar wants to focus all his energies on the motion picture in which his son will be launched.

If sources are to be believed, Boman Irani will now essay the role Nana was approached for. However, director Sajid Khan denies these rumours, and says Nana was never approached for the movie, and further stated that the casting is in progress.

With all this haan-na, it'll be a while before the casting of 'Housefull 2' is in place.
