Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay Kumar are continuing the legacy of the Housefull franchise with Housefull 5, bringing a fresh twist to the series. This time, the comedy is set on a cruise, with all the eccentric and quirky characters living under one “house.” The makers have consistently promised that this will be the biggest Housefull film yet, featuring a mega-ensemble cast for a hilarious and chaotic experience.
The male cast includes Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Chunky Pandey, Jackie Shroff, and Dino Morea, among others. According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, Housefull 5 will also feature five female leads: Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Chitrangada Singh, and Soundarya Sharma.
The film kicks off its shoot on September 15 in London with a 45-day schedule, including sequences both on land and aboard a cruise, where confusion and laughter will take center stage. After the London shoot, the team will return to Mumbai for another schedule. The movie is on track for a June 6, 2025 release, timed with Bakri Eid.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 will see Akshay Kumar return in a comic role with a new hilarious character trait, much like his iconic “Sandy and Sundi” roles from previous installments.
