Housefull 3: Say What? 6 lines that prove Akshay Kumar is truly the king of comedy

Of late, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has been associated with a string of films with hard-hitting stories - like Airlift, Baby and Brothers, to name a few.

But the superstar is all set to make a comeback to his favourite genre, comedy, with Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull 3. At a recent press conference, Akshay was asked about his return to comedy.

1) On the cast of the Housefull franchise

Akshay Kumar: As you all know, the star cast of Housefull 1 and Housefull 2 included many animals. Part one had a monkey and a tiger. Part two had a python, a crocodile and a bull. This time around, we have Chunky Pandey.
