The eagerly awaited ‘Housefull 5’ trailer is out, bringing with it an unexpected announcement from producer Sajid Nadiadwala during the launch event. Set to release on June 6, 2025, this latest chapter of Bollywood’s beloved comedy series will uniquely offer two alternate endings. Reflecting on the concept, Nadiadwala said, “In my mind, I’ve been playing with this idea for 30 years. If I ever made a thriller, what would be the X-factor? How would people walk out of the theatre if the identity of the villain was kept secret?”.Sajid Nadiadwala on the Unique TwistHe revealed the film’s unusual twist: “I’ve written a story where every theatre will have a different killer. So if you watch it at Gaiety, it’ll have one killer. If you watch it at Galaxy, there’ll be another. In PVR screen number 4, you’ll see a different killer, and in PVR screen number 5, yet another one. It’s like every time you watch the film, you’ll get a different ending.” Nadiadwala further emphasized the novelty of the concept, saying, “The film basically has two endings, something that hasn’t even happened anywhere else in the world.”Nargis Fakhri’s Emotional ComebackAt the trailer launch, actress Nargis Fakhri made a heartfelt return to the big screen with ‘Housefull 5’. She emotionally recounted the chance encounter that led to her role: “There’s so much excitement. It’s also kinda funny how it actually happened. In fact, it happened here at PVR Juhu, at the elevator, where I met Sajid sir. I told him, ‘Hey, I miss you, we should work together again.’ And a few days later, he called and said, ‘Housefull 5.’ I said, ‘Woah, that’s amazing.’ I feel like it’s a great comeback. I wasn’t here for a while, but now I’m finally back.” She also praised the atmosphere on set, saying, “It was really incredible on the sets of Housefull 5, where everyone got along. It was such a supportive and fun set. I’m so happy that Sajid called me, and I’m here now.”Fardeen Khan’s ReturnFardeen Khan is making a significant return to cinema with ‘Housefull 5’, marking his first major appearance on the big screen in over ten years. Reflecting on this phase, he shared, “It feels like a second coming, in my case, you could argue it’s a third. But to be met with so much respect, love, and appreciation from colleagues, it’s something I’m deeply grateful for.” He further explained, “Coming back after a 12-year break isn’t something you can plan. But I’m just prepared for it. I missed being on set, missed telling stories, and missed the connection with the audience. And now to have a fourth release in just one year, and that too with Housefull 5, such a successful and iconic comedy franchise in Hindi film history, it just feels like a celebration. I’m extremely grateful to everyone who believed in me and gave me this opportunity.”Jackie Shroff Names Akshay Kumar the ‘Biggest Joker’Jackie Shroff, who returns to the Housefull franchise after appearing in the third installment, didn’t hesitate when asked about the biggest prankster on set. He said, “Itne bade bade joker hai bhai… magar sabse bada joker hai jisne abhi bola safed suit mein (Akshay Kumar) uske samne kaun bol sakta hai kuch. Ek number ka badmaash hai… khade khade kab shirt nikal deta hai pata hi nahi chalta hai.”A Star-Studded Ensemble‘Housefull 5’ is set to make cinematic history as the first Indian comedy series to reach its fifth chapter.
