The plot of 'Housefull 4' circles around the theme of reincarnation. The movie is set in two time periods- the 16th century and the other 21st century. As per media reports, in the 16th century, Akshay Kumar will be seen as a King in 'Housefull 4', while Bobby Doel and Riteish Deshmukh will play his associates. Chunkey Panday’s humorous character Aakhri Pasta will be the nephew of great artist Vasco Da Gama. On the other hand, the present era story will showcase the girls coming from wealthy families and guys trying to impress them, in the past era, the characters will be seen in royal avatars.

The multi-starrer film, which promises to be a hilarious roller coaster ride much like its earlier avatars, is produced by Nadiadwala Grandson and co-produced by Fox Star Studios and is slated to hit the silver screens on October 25.
