Housefull 5, the popular comedy franchise starring Akshay Kumar, which hasn’t announced rest of cast or started shooting yet, has been postponed by a year. The film, which was earlier slated to release on Diwali 2024, will now hit the theatres on June 6, 2025.
The film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, is touted to be India’s biggest comedy with a whopping budget of Rs 350 crore.
Now here is the latest update about the film.
Housefull 5 To Be Shot On Cruise Ship
The announcement video of Housefull 5 featured funny and memorable clips from the first four films of the successful franchise. Interestingly, the transition used featured a cruise ship. Towards the end of the video, instead of stating ‘Releasing on June 6, 2025’, the makers mentioned ‘Sets sail on June 6, 2025’. As a result, this has given rise to the conclusion that in the fifth instalment, the madness is all set to unfold on a cruise ship.
An industry insider commented, “The common factor in all Housefull films is that a bunch of madcap characters get together in a house, leading to madness. That’s why the name Housefull, as the house is full of these funny characters. With Housefull 5, it seems like the makers are taking the madness level many notches higher by setting the story on a ship. And one can’t leave the ship as it’s presumably in the sea. Hence, these characters will have no choice but to face each other, causing confusion and lots of entertainment.”
The insider also said, “The ship is also a very interesting structure. It increases the scope for comedy if its aspects are correctly used.”
