"The Housefull franchise owes its massive success to the audiences and we hope for a similar reception for Housefull 5. The team has crafted an absolutely mind-blowing story that demands top-notch VFX. Therefore, we've made the decision to push the release to ensure we deliver five times the entertainment with great cinematic experience," an official statement from producer Sajid Nadiadwala read.
Along with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh would also be a part of 'Housefull 5', and the rest of the cast will be announced later.

Talking about Akshay Kumar, the actor was last seen in 'Mission Raniganj'. The movie which failed to cause any waves in theatres, recently premiered on Netflix.
The premiere on Netflix has given the film much-needed audience and social media is filled with praises for the Akshay Kumar-starrer.
Akshay Kumar's 'OMG 2' had bowled over fans in 2023 and despite a clash with 'Gadar 2', the Hindi film managed to score more than Rs 150 crore at the domestic box office.
