In a first-of-its-kind move for Indian cinema, Housefull 5, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, is set to release in two versions—each featuring a different killer and alternate climax. Titled Housefull 5 and Housefull 5A, the film promises a unique twist on the traditional comedy franchise format, encouraging fans to watch the film more than once to experience both endings.
🎬 Release Date: June 6, 2025
🎭 Star Cast: Akshay Kumar leads the madness, supported by a record-breaking ensemble of 19 actors, making it the largest cast ever for a Hindi film.
According to insider sources:
“If the killer is X in Housefull 5, the killer will be Y in Housefull 5A. While the setup remains the same, the last 20 minutes will be completely different, offering a new twist, new jokes, and a brand-new payoff.”
🪙 Marketing Genius:
- Both versions will be listed separately on platforms like BookMyShow, clearly marked to avoid confusion.
- This bold strategy is expected to boost repeat viewership, spark post-screening debates, and create viral buzz as audiences compare versions.
🎥 Industry Buzz:
The dual-ending format is reminiscent of experimental cinema from the West, but it’s a first in Bollywood on this scale. With Sajid Nadiadwala backing the concept, trade experts are curious and optimistic about audience response.
The Housefull franchise has always thrived on chaos, confusion, and comedy, but this time, it’s adding mystery and novelty into the mix. Whether you’re in for the laughs, the cast, or just the killer reveal — or both — Housefull 5 promises to be a summer spectacle like no other.
