Abhishek Bachchan shared his excitement about rejoining the ‘Housefull’ series, saying, “Housefull is one of my favorite comedy franchises and coming back feels like returning home. It’s always been a great pleasure to work with Sajid Nadiadwala. I am looking forward to having mad fun on the sets with my fellow actors Akshay and Ritesh. I’m also so excited to collaborate again with my dear friend Tarun Mansukhani. I’m really looking forward to working with him again after Dostana. This is going to be a lot of fun.”
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala shared his excitement about Abhishek’s return to the ‘Housefull’ franchise, expressing how thrilled he is to have Abhishek back. He praised Abhishek’s dedication, comedic timing, and sincerity, believing that they will enhance the quality of the film. ‘Housefull 5’, featuring Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh alongside Abhishek, is scheduled for release on June 6, 2025. Last June, Akshay announced the fifth installment of the successful comedy series ‘Housefull’. He took to Instagram to reveal the poster of ‘Housefull 5’, captioning it, “Get ready for five times the madness! Presenting #SajidNadiadwala’s #Housefull5 Directed by @tarun_mansukhani. Catch it in cinemas on Diwali 2024!”
‘Housefull 5’ is the first Indian film franchise to reach five installments. It all began with ‘Housefull’ in 2010, featuring stars like Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal, and Boman Irani. The movie was a big hit, followed by ‘Housefull 2’ in 2012, which also did well with actors such as Akshay, Riteish, John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez, and others. Both movies were directed by Sajid Khan. However, the third film, released in 2016, had a different director. The fourth part, a comedy about reincarnation, was directed by Farhad Samji. Now, ‘Housefull 5’ is in the works, directed by Tarun Mansukhani.
