For the past few days, Housefull 4 has been in the limelight for reasons more than one, courtesy - The MeToo campaign. After accusations of alleged sexual harassment on director Sajid Khan, and senior actor Nana Patekar, who has also been accused of alleged harassment by actress Tanushree Dutta, both of them ousted from the film. Following to these alleged charges, Sajid Khan stepped down as the film's director, and Nana Patekar released a statement saying that he has opted out of Housefull 4. The actor had already shot for portions of the film.
However, on the lighter side, a new photo of Akshay Kumar has been doing the rounds on social media. In the photo, Akshay Kumar is seen in a bald avatar, sporting a moustache. The look resembles Ranveer Singh's character from Bajirao Mastani. Although, one of Akshay Kumar's fan club has posted this snapshot and claim the photo to be his look from Housefull 4, which is a comedy caper. The fan club shared this picture and wrote: "#Exclusive The Second Look From #housefull4 of @akshaykumar Sir Is Out.. and It Looks Damn Hilarious And Fantastic [sic]."
