The Iconic Trio Returns for Another Round of Laughter
Get ready for a massive dose of nostalgia and laughter as the beloved Masti film series is officially returning with its fourth installment, Mastiii 4. The film, which first had audiences in splits back in 2004, is scheduled to hit cinema screens in November 2025, marking a grand comeback for the franchise known for its signature adult humour.
A Joyful Reunion After Nearly 12 Years
The most exciting news for fans is the reunion of the original lead trio: Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani. The three actors, who last shared the screen in the franchise nearly twelve years ago, are set to recreate their iconic comic chemistry. In a recent interview, Aftab Shivdasani opened up about the special bond he shares with his co-stars, calling it a creative partnership like no other.
"I'm very happy working with Riteish and Vivek. I think it's perhaps the best experience of my life in this industry," Aftab told IMDb. "We've done four films together and every film has only gotten better. When we're working, we're not really working, and that's the beauty of it."
Hollywood Dreams and Secret WhatsApp Groups
In a fun segment, the actors were asked which Hollywood celebrity they would love to invite to join the madness of Mastiii 4. Vivek Oberoi didn't hesitate before naming global superstar Jennifer Lopez. He even joked, "I would look at J.Lo and say, 'J.Lo, love visa le lo!' She is incredible."
Aftab Shivdasani, however, had a different and somewhat surprising choice: Brad Pitt. He clarified with a laugh, "Not because we want to look at Brad Pitt, but I think it'll be great to have him with us."
The camaraderie extends beyond the sets. The trio revealed they have a secret WhatsApp group, though they remained tight-lipped about its name, playfully warning, "We'd have to kill you before sharing it."
Nostalgic Memories and a Painful Injury
Reflecting on the journey, Vivek Oberoi grew emotional while talking about the first Masti film, which cemented their status as a formidable comic team. He revealed that the one project he would love to relive is their debut film, with one major caveat: he wishes he could do it without the serious leg injury he suffered during its production.
"As long as my leg was in one piece, Masti 1 was so much fun," he revealed, highlighting the mix of joy and personal hardship that accompanied the making of the classic comedy.
With its original cast, legendary chemistry, and a release date set for November 2025, Mastiii 4 is poised to be one of the most anticipated comedy sequels in recent Bollywood history.
