Pooja Hegde will now have a longer role in Housefull 4, thanks to Akshay Kumar!

Remember the time when there was a running joke in the industry on Akshay Kumar chopping off his co-actor’s roles in films? The exact opposite has just happened with Pooja Hegde, who collaborates with the actor in the upcoming reincarnation comedy, Housefull 4. As we have reported earlier, all the actors will have two different looks in the film- One for the present, the other for the period setting. Kumar will be romancing Kriti Sanon for the present portions and Hegde for the warrior part.

Given the camaraderie they both have shared during the shoot so far, the actor has requested the makers to increase her role in the film.  A source says, “The film is designed as such that the actors are paired opposite different actresses in both the halves. While in the modern day timing, Akshay is opposite Kriti Sanon but in the war sequences and time zone scenes, he will romance Pooja Hegde. So he has asked the team to increase Pooja’s scenes with him because they have struck great friendship off screen too.”

The film is slated to release on October 25, 2019!
