Akshay Kumar’s much-anticipated comedy sequel Housefull 5 is making headlines even before its box office numbers are in — and for good reason. The film has set a new record for the superstar by becoming his widest international release to date.
The fifth instalment in the popular Housefull franchise has launched in over 85 countries, spanning more than 1,300 locations and screening across 2,000+ screens worldwide. This marks a significant global milestone for both the actor and the franchise, reinforcing its status as one of Bollywood’s most successful comedy sagas.
Known for its mass appeal among family audiences and the Indian diaspora, Housefull 5 is aiming to broaden its footprint far beyond traditional NRI strongholds. The extensive international release strategy reflects the makers’ ambition to position the film as a global entertainer and capitalise on overseas revenues from day one.
With an ensemble cast and strong brand recognition built over four previous instalments, the film is expected to open well both in India and globally. The nostalgia factor, paired with slapstick humour and star power, seems to be fueling the hype.
Adding to the buzz, Housefull 5 is releasing with an unusual twist — two different climaxes playing in theatres simultaneously, promising a unique viewing experience for audiences.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film features an all-star cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, and Nana Patekar.
With such a massive scale and cast lineup, Housefull 5 is poised to be a global comedy spectacle.
