Being one of the pioneers of sex comedies in Indian cinema, especially Bollywood, 20 years ago, the franchise of Masti (2004) kick started with Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani, and Riteish Deshmukh in the lead. With two films that followed in the years 2013 and 2016, now, the makers have decided to revive the franchise with a fourth instalment being planned. While all the installments in the past have been directed by Indra Kumar, we hear that this fourth instalment will be directed by Milap Zaveri.
