Four heroes, 40 goons!

NEW DELHI, Jan. 21 -- In a return to the 'herogiri' of the 1970s and the '80s, Sajid Khan's Housefull 2 will have four actors Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Ritesh Deshmukh and Shreyas Talpade taking on 40 goons in an action sequences that the director promises is one of the USPs of the muchanticipated sequel.

"The actors I grew up watching Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna were heroes in the true sense and you didn't question the irrationality of them taking on an army of villains. Since retro is in, I thought why not rewind to those glory days when heroism wasn't simply about fighting but fighting the odds," reasons Sajid.

He says he has designed every kick and punch himself and roped in the action director of Rambo, Kawee Sirikhanaerut better known as Seng Kawee, as his associate action director.
