Housefull 4 Director Farhad Samji Throws A Major Hint About Rana Daggubati’s Character

Screenwriter-director Farhad Samji has revealed that the “Baahubali” star Rana Daggubati will play a threat in their upcoming film “Housefull 4“.

Rana had replaced Nana Patekar in the film after the veteran actor was accused of sexual misconduct by actress Tanushree Dutta.

Rana started shooting for it in Mumbai in November.

“I think it is too early to talk about his role. It’s an important role. He is playing the threat in the film,” Farhad told IANS in a telephonic interview about the movie that also stars actors Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Bobby Deol.

Rana is not the only replacement in the film. In October, filmmaker Sajid Khan had to step down as its director after he was accused of sexual harassment.

“It would have been difficult for me had I not written the screenplay and dialogues of the film. Whenever I narrate, I do it like a stand-up act. All the actors… even producers make it a point that I am present on sets. I was in Jaisalmer while the shooting was happening there.

“So, it is not a big jump for me. But yeah, as a director, there are so many departments that I have to look up to like costumes, timing, actors and all. I had worked with Sajid Nadiadwala (producer) before also in ‘Housefull 3‘ so, he was also there with me,” said Farhad.

But “Housefull 3” was co-directed by Sajid Samji and Farhad.
