Akshay, Riteish, Abhishek begin shooting for 'Housefull 3'

Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan have begun filming the third instalment of comedy franchise "Housefull".

While Akshay and Riteish were also a part of the previous two parts, Abhishek is the new addition to the upcoming film, which is written and directed by director duo Sajid-Farhad and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

Riteish, 36, took to Twitter to announce the start of the film.

"And the Madness begins #HouseFull3," he tweeted.

Akshay, who is considered as a formidable action star in Bollywod, surprised his fans by treating them to a blooper from the set of "Housefull", which showed him being unable to jump off a wooden barricade.

"While you enjoy my coordination in the #Brothers ring this weekend, here's a #Blooper on my 1st shoot of #Housefull3," the 47-year-old star tweeted.

The film, also starring Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon, is expected to hit theatres next year.
