Thrilled to join the comedy franchise, Bobby Deol says Housefull 4 holds a special place in his filmography for a reason — the Diwali release, in its typical cheeky humour, sees him play Dharam Putra, a character inspired by father Dharmendra's iconic part in Dharam Veer (1977).

"My character resembles my father's [part] in terms of the outfit and the character's name but the intention was not to emulate or copy him. The franchise is known to pay tribute to many memorable characters. Here, I enjoyed playing a comic version of Dharam Veer," says Deol.
