Riteish Deshmukh to star in Masti 3

Riteish Deshmukh, who has been enjoying fatherhood after the birth of his son in December, suddenly seems to have had a change of heart. The actor had earlier claimed that he won't be doing any sex comedies but now we hear that he will be seen playing one of the leads in Masti 3.

While the first installment of this series, Masti had been a sleeper hit, Grand Masti became the first sex comedy to enter the 100 crore club in Bollywood. Since the record breaking success of the sequel, the makers have been toying with the idea of a third installment. However, then, Riteish Deshmukh had stated that he is done with sex comedies since there is nothing new that he can offer in this genre. But now, it seems that the script of Masti 3 has left such an impact on his mind that the actor agreed to do the film. 

Excited about the latest turn of events, director Indra Kumar stated that Riteish Deshmukh was really convinced about the film when he heard the script and also expressed his happiness over collaborating with him once again.
