Director duo Sajid-Farhad, who is stepping into Sajid Khan’s shoes to direct Housefull 3, say the former has been trashed enough and it is time to let him be.
Since Khan’s latest directorial venture Humshakals hit the screens, not just critics but the film’s cast, including Saif Ali Khan and Bipasha Basu, have panned him.
Sajid said: “It’s getting too much for Sajid Khan... it’s enough... just let him be now.
“Everybody has to face downfall and the same goes for us as well. If he has given two flops, one should not forget the three hits that he had delivered.
“We should stop criticising Sajid and move on. It’s just a bad phase [for him], that’s it,” he added.
After a fruitful start with Hey Babyy, followed by successes Housefull and Housefull 2, Khan had his first set-back when his Himmatwala remake bombed and now the failure of Humshakals has added to his woes.
Sajid-Farhad, who directed Entertainment starring Akshay Kumar, will direct Housefull 3, but say they have no issues with Khan.
Farhad said: “Just because we are directing Housefull 3 that doesn’t mean there is any tension between us. In fact, we got a call from [producer] Sajid Nadiadwala to direct the film. We will start shooting from early next year and since it’s a big brand, we will not take it for granted.”
Housefull 3 will feature Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh.
