Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has confirmed that Housefull 5, the fifth instalment of Bollywood’s blockbuster comedy franchise, will be the world’s first film to offer two completely different endings. At the trailer launch, Nadiadwala explained that depending on the cinema you attend, you’ll discover a different killer revealed in the climax—an X-factor twist he’s dreamed up for over 30 years The Indian Express.
Release Date & Murder-Mystery Twist
Set to hit theatres on June 6, 2025, Housefull 5 combines the franchise’s signature slapstick humour with a fresh murder-mystery angle. Audiences can expect classic comic chaos, but will leave the theatre guessing until the very last moment—since each participating screen will show one of the two possible culprits The Indian Express.
Star-Studded Cast & Grand Comebacks
Housefull 5 boasts an ensemble of 19 actors, including franchise regulars and surprise returns:
- Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez
- Jackie Shroff, Shreyas Talpade, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever
- Nargis Fakhri (making her Bollywood comeback after meeting Nadiadwala by chance at a PVR Juhu elevator)
- Fardeen Khan (returning after a 12-year hiatus) The Indian Express.
‘Biggest Joker’ on Set: Akshay Kumar
When asked who kept the set in stitches, veteran actor Jackie Shroff didn’t hesitate to point at Akshay Kumar, quipping (in Hindi),
“Itne bade bade joker hai bhai… lekin sabse bada joker hai jisne abhi bola safed suit mein… uske samne kaun bol sakta hai kuch. Ek number ka badmaash hai—khade khade kab shirt nikal deta hai, pata hi nahi chalta!” The Indian Express
(Translation: “There are many big jokers here, but the biggest joker is the one in the white suit—he’ll rip his shirt off before you even notice!”)
What to Expect from Housefull 5
With its blend of slapstick comedy, a unique dual-ending mystery, and a massive star cast, Housefull 5 is poised to be one of Bollywood’s most talked-about releases of 2025. Whether you’re a franchise fan or a newcomer drawn by the killer twist, make sure to catch both versions—if you dare!
