Nargis Fakhri signs two films - 'Housefull 3' and 'Hera Pheri 3'

Out of sight, but not yet out of mind- that's how one can describe state of things in Nargis Fakhri's life now. After not having signed films over a year, the actress has been finally roped in to play lead roles in two of the leading film franchise's next instalments- Housefull 3 and Hera Pheri 3. 

The actress, who did not have a remarkable debut and received a lot of flak for her performance in Rockstar, was applauded for her credible performance in Madras Cafe. She did a Main Tera Hero, but after that, she vanished totally from the scene, only to do an item number in Salman Khan's Kick. Now, she has been signed on to play integral parts in both Housefull 3 and Hera Pheri 3.

Riding high on the brand value of the prequels, HP3 and H3 are both expected to create firecrackers at the box office. While HP3 will also have Esha Gupta, H3 will have Jacqueline Fernandez in the ensemble cast. There were news that Nargis stayed away for the limelight, nursing a wounded heart post her break up with Uday Chopra. But now, she's got reasons to smile.
