‘Housefull 5 Will Be A 5 Star Film’

The
starry
ensemble
of
a
whopping
18
cast
members
of

Housefull
5
made
for
an
epic
frame
as
they
gathered
to
launch
the
trailer
of
the
upcoming
goofy
comedy.

This
time,
the
latest

Housefull
film
comes
with
a
twist
of
whodunit.

Akshay
Kumar,
the
leading
star
of
the
franchise,
highlights
that
at
the
film’s
trailer
launch,
and
arrives
on
stage
with
his
face
covered
with
a
metallic
mask,
similar
to
the
mysterious
masked
killer
in
the
trailer.

The
other
cast
members
wear
the
mask
too,
adding
intrigue
to
the
drama.

Akshay
removes
his
mask
and
asks
the
audience
in
a
dramatic
tone:
“Who
could
be
the
killer
among
these
18
people,
can
you
guess?”

Of
course,
not
easy
to
answer
that.

Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala,
who
also
wrote
earlier
four
films
of
the

Housefullfranchise,
revealed
that

Housefull
5
will
have
two
versions
with
different
climaxes.

And
this
experiment,
he
says,
will
happen
for
the
first
time
in
the
world.

“I
have
been
thinking
about
this
for
the
last
30
years,
that
if
I
make
a
thriller,
what
would
be
the
X
factor?
So
I
have
written
a
story
wherein
every
theatre
will
have
a
different
killer.
If
you
watch

Housefull
5
in
Gaiety,
you
will
see
one
killer,
and
in
Galaxy,
you
will
see
another
killer.
In
Screen
4,
you
will
have
one
killer
and
in
Screen
5,
another
killer,
he
explained.
Gaiety
and
Galaxy
are
well-known
movie
halls
in
Bandra,
northwest
Mumbai.

Fardeen
Khan,
who
plays
a
pivotal
role
in

Housefull
5,
quipped:
“This
was
narrated
to
us
after
we
shot
the
entire
movie.”

Nadiadwala
said
the
track
record
of
earlier

Housefull
films
encouraged
him
to
keep
re-visiting
this
franchise.
The
producer
said
he
is
confident
that
audiences
will
love
the
latest
instalment
as
well.

Interestingly,

Housefull
5
releases
in
the
same
year
as
the
75th
anniversary
of
his
production
house,
Nadiadwala
Grandson
Entertainment.

“I
have
some
great
journalist
friends,
who
have
always
been
gracious
enough.
Whenever
I
deserved
half
a
star,
I
got
one.
This
is
the
fifth
film,
so
as
per
that,

Housefull
5
will
be
a
five
star
film,”
Nadiadwala
said.

reveals
who
he’s
a
big
fan
of,
and
even
carries
a
picture
in
his
wallet.

The

Housefull
5
trailer
introduces
the
same
frolic
energy
and
lowbrow
humour
one
typically
associate
with
the
franchise.
As
a
whodunit
unfolding
on
a
ship
with
multiple
suspects
at
play,
the
film
seems
to
be
a
cross
between

Murder
on
the
Orient
Express
and

Knives
Out.

Abhishek
Bachchan
returns
to
the
franchise
after

Housefull
3
as
he
joins
Akshay
Kumar
and
Riteish
Deshmukh,
alongside
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
Sonam
Bajwa,
Nargis
Fakhri,
Sanjay
Dutt,
Jackie
Shroff,
Nana
Patekar,
Chitrangda

Fardeen
Khan,
Chunky
Panday,
Johnny
Lever,
Shreyas
Talpade,
Dino
Morea,
Ranjeet,
Soundarya
Sharma
and
Nikitin
Dheer.

The
film
is
directed
by
Tarun
Mansukhani
of

Dostana
fame.

“We
had
a
blast
shooting
this
film,”
Tarun
said
about
his
latest
directorial.
“The
ship
was
the
best
fun
to
shoot
on.
Even
though
it
was
rocking,
and
we
had
a
storm
and
all
of
those
problems,
we
kept
shooting
through
it
all.
I
didn’t
feel
the
pressure
of
having
this
cast
even
for
one
day.”
