Akshay Kumar, Sajid Khan and Riteish Deshmukh with rediff staff

What do you get when three stars come together to simultaneously chat with their fans?

Well, for one, you get a lot of fans shooting rapid questions at them. The stars in question were the cast and director of Housefull, Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and director Sajid Khan, who chatted about their new film which releases on April 30.

So how did the threesome fare? For those who missed out Monday's fun chat, here's the transcript:

Sajid Khan says, Hi! This is Sajid Khan. Apologies for the delay. Go ahead. We're ready to answer your questions.

Akshay Kumar says, Hi, guys this Akshay I am sorry for the delay shoot your questions.

Riteish Deshmukh says, Hi folks... We're sorry for the delay. This is Riteish here and I'm ready for your questions.

raj asked, Hi, Tell us abt ur movie?
Sajid Khan answers, It's a romantic comedy entertainer with a very interesting screenplay, which I know you will enjoy.

nanda asked, hi ritesh...i like your comedy very much i am big fan of urs
Riteish Deshmukh answers, Hi, thank you so much.

AmandeepSingh asked, Akki, when we can see akshay in out an otu action movie something like hollywood action movies
Akshay Kumar answers, Well it is too costly to do a Hollywood kind of film. If you guys watch the film in a theatre and not support piracy, then may be one day we too can get a Hollywood kind of collection.

GreenEagle asked, hi sajid, i think u r a nice driector but plzz dont get angry on any filmfare with ashutosh or anybody
Sajid Khan answers, Ashutosh [Gowariker] and I are friends as there are no permanent enmities in Bollywood. He had his point of view and I had mine. I guess it just went a little out of control.

Prem asked, U all 3 guys think 2days only multistarr movie run well.......
Riteish Deshmukh answers, Good films always run at the box office.

kaltua asked, sajid, you should make a film on kishen jhootani :)
Sajid Khan answers, Hahaha!

AmandeepSingh asked, Akshay Bhaji, also I would like to see you in a punjabi film
Akshay Kumar answers, Well I have done two Punjabi films. Also I have done a Punjabi album and a Punjabi Hindi film like Singh is Kinng.

reena asked, SAJID .... U HAVE A GRRR8 COMIC SENSE WHICH REPRESENTS IN U R MOVIES .. AL D BEST FOR HOUSEFULL TOO I M SURE IT WILL ROCKS...
Sajid Khan answers, Thank you so much. I'm sure you won't be disappointed when you see the film.

Akshay Kumar answers, Nervous!

 

panda asked, Sajid tell me "why you hav given this movie name is"House full "

Sajid Khan answers, Because in the film there is a house which gets full with all the characters, hence Housefull. But I hope that the fate at the box office is synonymous with the title.

TomCruise asked, Ritesh is a comedian. Ask him to act in one movie that requires real acting, the likes to Aamir khan. Vashila saab jaga nahi chalta yaar. You cannot buy it.

Riteish Deshmukh answers, Beat Tommy. If I act like Aamir, what will Aamir act like (me)?

rajraj2101 asked, Hi akshay I really like your flamboyance type of acting. I really feel that if Matrix to be made in India you will be the perfect choice for Keanu role.

Alien asked, Ritesh, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai, Jaane Kahan Chali Gayi, kyon, why

Riteish Deshmukh answers, Koi jaane na.

 

hellodost asked, yaar movie to hum hall me jake dekh lenge...aap apne baare me batoo

Sajid Khan answers, Thank you so much. You will enjoy this film with a "house full" crowd in cinemas only. The good news is that Housefull is the world's first anti-piracy software for the Internet illegal downloading adapted film. The software is called Republique and it has a hub in Mumbai, like a call centre, where Housefull will be completely tracked on the Internet. If anyone tries downloading it, not only will the files get corrupted but, guess what, your IP address will pop up and you will be prosecuted. So enjoy big-screen cinema on a big screen and avoid getting arrested.

 

Sajid: I'm hoping that Housefull can come close to 3 Idiots
