Akshay Kumar’s return for the fifth installment of the ‘Housefull’ franchise stands tall at Rs498 crores in India and Rs795 crores globally.
The film is going to be directed by Tarun Mansukhani and will release in Diwali 2024 and it will be locking horns with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which ironically is a film franchise that Akshay Kumar added a lot of value to.
Sajid Nadiadwala’s Housefull franchise is among the biggest comedy franchises in India.
The film franchise featuring Akshay Kumar in a titular role has found a lot of success over the years, not just at the box office but also on satellite (television).
Kumar has booked two big festivals for his theatrical releases; While Bade Miyan Chote Miyan releases on Eid, Housefull 5, as specified above, releases on Diwali.
The first Housefull film released back in 2010 which was directed by Sajid Khan and starred Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal and many others.
The film emerged a hit at the box office with net India collections of Rs 72.25 crores and worldwide gross collections of Rs 116.50 crores. It laid the foundation for a comedy franchise that would go on to become one of the most sought after Hindi movie IPs of all time.
