Housefull 5: Akshay Kumar’s comedy not to release on Diwali 2024 due to this reason, actor announces new date

While Bollywood fans are eagerly awaiting the fifth instalment of the Housefull franchise to release in theatres, the movie has been rescheduled to a later date. Headlined by Akshay Kumar, Housefull 5, originally slated for release on Diwali 2024, will now hit the big screens on June 6th, 2025.

According to the makers, the reason behind this delay is that they have created a “mind-blowing story that needs top-notch VFX." In his official statement, producer Sajid Nadiadwala stated, “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 a cinematic experience. Housefull 5 will now be releasing on 6th June 2025.”
