Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan are set to return to the big screen in Housefull 5, which is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious comedy films in Indian cinema. With a reported production budget of ₹225 crore (excluding print and advertising), the film has become the costliest comedy ever made in India, surpassing the likes of Housefull 4 and Golmaal Again.

A Star-Studded Comedy Spectacle

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Dostana fame Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 boasts a massive ensemble of 19 A-list actors. Alongside Akshay, Riteish, and Abhishek, the film features Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Johnny Lever, Chunky Pandey, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, and Soundarya Sharma.

Lavish Production & Unique Storyline

The trailer reveals an extravagant setting aboard a luxury yacht, where a billionaire celebrates his 100th birthday. When the tycoon dies suddenly, chaos unfolds as three guests—drugged and suffering from memory loss—become the prime suspects. Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt step in to unravel the mystery in what is described as a “killer comedy.”

Promotions and Buzz

From Akshay doing the ‘phoogdi’ dance with Nana Patekar to pranks at the trailer launch, the Housefull 5 promotions have generated massive fan interest. Akshay even quipped about his paycheck, jokingly asking, “Kya raid daalna hai?”

Theatrical Release and Anticipation

Slated for a June 6, 2025 release, the film’s climax will reportedly vary by theatre—an experimental move by the makers. As excitement builds, all eyes are on Housefull 5 to deliver not just laughs but also possibly revive Bollywood’s box office streak
