Helmed by Sajid Nadiadwala and led by Akshay Kumar, the film promises to be a laugh riot with a unique twist—set on a cruise ship. Known for its larger-than-life comedy and chaotic misunderstandings, Housefull 5 is poised to become the biggest movie in the series, with a mega ensemble cast and a new adventure awaiting fans.

However, the excitement doesn’t stop there. For the first time, the Housefull franchise will showcase five leading ladies on board, further raising the stakes.
The female cast includes Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Chitrangada Singh, and Soundarya Sharma. According to sources close to the production, “It’s a cruise full of characters, each playing a vital role in the story. Sajid Nadiadwala was particular about getting the casting right, and now the ensemble is set for this hilarious ride. This is by far one of the most star-studded setups ever pulled off by a producer in Bollywood.”
London Marathon Schedule and Cruise Chaos
The film’s first schedule kicks off with a 45-day marathon shoot in London, where key sequences will be shot before the cast moves to a cruise ship for the central portion of the film. “The entire house will come down with confusion and laughter once they board the cruise,” shared the source.
