New Delhi: Actor Akshay Kumar is doing all he can to ensure his upcoming comedy film, ‘Housefull 3’ become one of the top grosser of 2016. As a part of this strategy, Eros International; the producer of the film; are releasing the movie in 3,5000 plus screens across India.
By doing so, Akshay has already defeated superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s last release ‘Fan’. ‘Fan’ had released in around 3,500 screens but Akshay is not ready to settle for that number.
With this ‘Housefull 3’ will also become the movie to see widest release of 2016, till now. But, this crown will not be on Housefull 3’s head for long as superstar Salman Khan is releasing his film ‘Sultan’ is expected to release in over 4,5000 screens.

Not only this, the makers of the third instalment of Housefull franchisee are also tapping the overseas market as well to make more money. The multi starrer will release in Dubai, Norway and Germany, a day before its Indian release i.e. 2 June 2016. The makers plan to have a grand release abroad as well; however the final screen count will be much below than Shah Rukh Khan's Fan in the overseas market.
Along with Akshay; this Sajid-Farhad directorial also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lisa Haydon and Nargis Fakhri in pivotal roles.
Despite a wide release, ‘Fan’ did not get brilliant box office reception. Will the same happen with ‘Hosuefull 3’ or will it go on a new path? Well, that will be known only after the release.
