John Abraham and Priya Runchal
It seems that the title of Sajid Nadiadwala's next film could well be referring to the shaadi mandap - Housefull.
Virtually the entire cast of the second edition of the hit romantic comedy - Housefull 2 - is headed to the mandap in 2012.
Riteish Deshmukh, who plays one of the leads in the film, is set to tie the knot with his long-time girlfriend Genelia d'Souza on February 3.
Not the one to be left behind (not just the camera), film's director Sajid Khan is reportedly planning to marry the beautiful Jacqueline Fernandez, who is one of the film's leading ladies, in June-July 2012.
And if that wasn't enough wedding parties already for the Housefull team, John Abraham, who - no points for guessing - is also playing the lead in the film, is all set to get married to his investment-banker girlfriend Priya Runchal in August.
Though John remained unavailable for comment, a friend confirmed the development.
He said, "The mistake John made in his previous 10-year-old relationship [with Bipasha Basu] was to wait too long for marriage. John has realised that the more a relationship lingers without marriage, the less are the chances of it happening. He is therefore taking the plunge without any further ado."
Now Akshay Kumar, who was the only married man among the three leads when the film went to the floor, is being credited for John's decision to walk the proverbial aisle.
Apparently, John has been confiding in Akshay Kumar while shooting for Housefull 2 inBangkok about his excitement and misgivings on commitment and marriage. Akshay, a firm believer in the institution of marriage, reportedly convinced John to take the plunge.
"Also when John's brother got married two years ago, John was heard telling his friends that this is the life that he always wanted for himself," John's friend added.
While John has absolutely no qualms about letting his future wife pursue her career, we hear that Genelia and Jacqueline are planning to gradually ease their way out of their acting careers after tying the knot.
