Cast of Housefull 3 on sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa for promotions

Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jaqueline Fernandez and Lisa Haydon had a blast promoting their upcoming film Housefull 3 on the sets of the popular reality music show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge recently.

HIGH ON ENTERTAINMENT

The multi-starrer slapstick is slated to open this weekend, and the cast has been aggressively promoting their film across various reality shows on television over the past few weeks. Nargis Fakri, the film's third heroine, was absent at the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa promotions, fuelling the recent rumours that the starlet has fallen out with the makers of Housefull 3 and is therefore reluctant to promote the film.

Meanwhile the film's other two heroines, Jacqueline and Lisa, were seen in a merry mood. Jacqueline sportingly showed off her skills with the hula hoop as the studio audience applauded. Singer Mika, who also accompanied the cast, joined Jacqueline in trying out a few hula hoop tricks. Shooting for the special episode along with the film's stars were also Pritam and Wajid, who have composed the songs of the film. Together, they joined the stars in singing and jiving to the film's popular dance number, Tang uthake. The studio audience and a few of the contestants of the show also joined them. This is the third film in the Housefull franchise, which has already seen two very successful money-spinners in the past.

Housefull 3 is the first major out-and-out mass entertainer opening in 2016, and the film trade is looking up to the film for big profits. For Akshay, this is his second release this year after the hit Airlift. The film was in news recently owing to a controversial reason. A tweet by Akshay's wife Twinkle Khanna irked followers of Sri Sri Ravishankar. Certain people then threatened to jeopardise release of the film. Akshay and company will sure hope nothing of that sort happens.
