"When you meet the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family... well #kindof.."
The cast of the upcoming comedy, Housefull 4 (2018) have been enjoying London as they shoot for the latest instalment of the franchise.
What’s more, they even welcomed a special dance number with none other than the Royal Family – lookalikes!
Starring the franchise regulars, Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, Housefull 4 also sees newcomers Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda and Pooja Hegde.
The film is being directed by Sajid Khan, the brother of the award-winning choreographer of the film, Farah Khan.
Farah has recently made her comeback to choreographing for Bollywood music videos with ‘Tareefan’ from Veere Di Wedding (2018) and ‘Zingaat’ from Dhadak (2018)
She has been working with the cast on an exciting musical number in London, who were filming scenes with lookalikes of the Royal family!
Lookalikes included Queen Elizabeth II, her son, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall and grandsons Prince William and Prince Harry with their respective wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.
All of whom were grooving to Farah’s choreography and were even applauded by the cast for attempting the Hindi lyrics!
Farah tweeted a photo with the Queen’s doppelgänger, captioned:
“Onher majesty’s dancing service !! Making #The queen dance was such fun!! #Housefull4 photo credit @akshaykumar”
Farah told the Mumbai Mirror:
“The Queen and Charles were my favourites from the original and Housefull 2. Sadly, they were missing in the third part so I decided to bring them back in a song.”
Cast member, Pooja Hegde also managed to get a few snaps of the Queen, sort of.
She posted on Instagram:
“When you meet the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family… well #kindof..”
Though not much of the plot details have yet been revealed, the premise of the film is said to revolve around reincarnation.
Shot over four days, the cast has been seen in numerous locations such as Kensington Palace, the House of Lords as well as a few roads that were closed off for shoots.

The filmmakers promise us a bigger, better and funnier Housefull film.
