Akshay Kumar, on Wednesday, shared the first look of this reincarnation comedy in which he is set to portray two roles in two different timelines. In 1419, he will be seen as a ruler Rajkumar Bala and in 2019, he plays a barber named Harry based in London. He captioned the first posters as, "Miliye 1419 ke Rajkumar Bala aur 2019 ke London return Harry se! Witness how they embark upon this journey of ultimate chaos, confusion and madness in the #Housefull4 Trailer. Out on 27th September. #SajidNadiadwala @farhad_samji @WardaNadiadwala @foxstarhindi @NGEMovies." For transforming into Bala, it would require Akshay Kumar to sit through two and a half hours daily into the prosthetics sessions. Since his role is of a ruler, several looks were taken into consideration before they went ahead with the bald look. 3D models were designed for the characters before the looks were finalized. National Award-winning makeup, hair and prosthetic expert Preetisheel Singh, who creates Alauddin Khilji's look in Padmaavat, designed his look and said that it was challenging since he had to absolutely look bald in a way one can't even see five o'clock shadow. The costumes for the period section were designed by Rimple and Harpreet Narula who also worked on Padmaavat like Preetisheel. While two schedules of the period portion were shot in Jaisalmer and Mumbai, Sajid Nadiadwala was keen on getting authentic looks for the 1416 era. So, he hired a team with prior experience to create looks for the cast. Housefull 4, directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, stars Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Rana Daggubati, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda, Pooja Hegde, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Chunky Panday among others. It is set to release on Diwali 2019.
However, now it has come to light that viewers will get a sneak peek of YRF’s upcoming production, Mardaani 2, when they venture out to see War. A source close to the project says, “Aditya Chopra, the head honcho of YRF, has given his nod to attach Mardaani 2’s teaser with their upcoming film. It’s just 41 seconds long but conveys a lot about the film and the setting. The villain isn’t shown but the viewers will get an idea as to what to expect from the movie.” Mardaani 2, as the name suggests, is a sequel of Mardaani, the 2014 action drama flick starring Rani Mukerji in leading role. In the first part, she plays a dedicated police officer who brings down a human trafficking network, run by a ruthless young man in tandem with a Delhi politician. Pradeep Sarkar directed this flick that was loved for its direction, script and performances by Rani and the antagonist, Tahir Raj Bhasin. It was also a rare ‘A’ rated film of YRF. In Mardaani 2, Rani Mukerji reprises the role of Shivani Shivaji Roy and this time she’ll be up against an even colder and merciless villain. The shoot for the film began earlier this year in Mumbai followed by an important schedule in Rajasthan. In the blistering heat of May, Rani Mukerji shot for some key sequences in Kota, braving 42 degree Celsius temperature. The source, before signing off says, “The YRF team right is now working round the clock on War. But they are also simultaneously focusing on Mardaani 2 as well and they are sure it has immense potential, just like Mardaani. War is expected to have the biggest opening day and weekend of the year, when it comes to Hindi films. So they feel this is the right opportunity to give a glance of what Mardaani 2 will be like, to as many as audiences as possible.” Mardaani 2 releases on December 13, 2019. Gopi Puthran, co-writer and associate director of Mardaani, makes his directorial debut with this flick. Also Read:
