It seems that the title of Sajid Nadiadwala’s next film could well be referring to the shaadi mandap – ‘Housefull’. Virtually the entire cast of the second edition of the hit romantic comedy is headed to the mandap in 2012: its lead actor Riteish Deshmukh is getting married to Genelia D’Souza, director Sajid Khan is reportedly planning to marry the beautiful Jacqueline Fernandez, who is one of the film’s leading ladies.
And now John Abraham, who is also playing the lead in the film, is all set to get married to his investment-banker girlfriend Priya Runchal in August. A friend of John confirmed: “The mistake John made in his previous 10-year-old relationship (with Bipasha Basu) was to wait too long for marriage. John has realised that the more a relationship lingers without marriage, the less are the chances of it happening.”
Now Akshay Kumar, who was the only married man among the three leads when the film went to the floor, is being credited for John’s decision to walk the proverbial aisle. Apparently, John has been confiding in Akshay about his excitement and misgivings on commitment and marriage. Akshay, a firm believer in the institution of marriage, reportedly convinced John to take the plunge.
