Most of the unit is travelling with their families and everyone has been put up at the 118-room Bull Hotel in Peterborough, London.
Needless to say, the place is 'houseful'! Summer is the peak season for tourists and so to avoid inconvenience, Sajid booked the entire hotel for the duration of their stay there."

Provisions have been made to ensure that every star gets special treatment. "While Mithun gets a personal kitchen stocked with everything he needs, John wants a place that has a great gym.
The action director and his team will fly down from Los Angeles. Farah Khan will fly down for the choreography.
After London, the unit will shift to Greece. It's a very expensive outdoor costing almost R 20 crore. An entire aircraft has been booked to fly down most of the stars and unit on the same day."
Sajid says, "All my actors are working hectic schedules and Housefull 2 has a lot of action, which is taxing. I feel it's important to keep actors at ease while shooting such tough schedules.
We have even put up a football unit on the set and a small cricket ground for the actors so they don't get bored."
