Seems like the film ‘Housefull 4’ has been dogged by controversy as last month producer Sajid Khan too stepped down as the director of the movie after getting accused of several sexual harassment allegations. The director has been replaced by Farhad Samji.
The film is being currently shot in Mumbai and stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda and Pooja Hegde.
