Housefull 3 kicks off in London

The third instalment in the Housefull franchise kicks off.

The second sequel in the Housefull series kick starts tomorrow in London. The six-member cast is flying down to the Queen's city for 10 days of song, dance and drama in the Mansion Bloomsbury. "Akshay (Kumar), Abhishek (Bachchan) and Riteish (Deshmukh) are flying together to UK from Mumbai. It's a 40-day schedule and the cast will fly in and out," a source close to the development told Mirror.

Director duo Sajid-Farhan will be filming the first song in the film in London with the entire cast and the pets in the house, which includes a large Saint Bernard. "Jacqueline (Fernandez), Nargis (Fakhri) and Lisa (Haydon) will be locked in the house with the boys starting Monday," the source added.

While Akshay and Riteish were also a part of the first two films, Abhishek is the latest addition to the Sajid Nadiadwala production. Most of the film will be shot inside the London bungalow, but the makers will also be filming in a studio in Mumbai. They will be shooting one big action sequence too. "The entire film will be shot over the next five months and we will wrap with an ensemble song in Mumbai towards the end of January. The film opens in June 2016," the source reveals.
