Housefull 5 gets a new release date

Housefull 5 has a new release date. The fifth segment of the comedy franchise, which was earlier scheduled to release by Diwali, 2024, will now hit theatres on June 6, 2025.

Akshay Kumar, who will be starring in the film, shared the film’s poster along with the announcement. Housefull 5 will be bankrolled by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the banner which has produced the previous four installments as well. An official statement from Sajid Nadiadwala stated the reason behind the film’s delay. “The team has crafted an absolutely mind-blowing story that demands top-notch VFX. Therefore, we’ve made the decision to push the release…,” it read.

The film will be helmed by director Tarun Mansukhani who has previously helmed Dostana and Drive. Riteish Deshmukh is also part of the film. Housefull was released in 2010 and was helmed by Sajid Khan. Starring Riteish and Akshay, alongside Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone, and Boman Irani, it revolved around a man who carried bad luck in all his endeavours.

The sequel released in 2012 with fresh faces like John Abraham and Asin, and was about four men putting all their efforts, including crooked methods to marry the women of their choices. Housefull 3 and 4 released in 2016 and 2019 respectively.
