Actor Akshay Kumar, who is currently working on Housefull 5 in Mumbai, recently experienced an accident while performing a stunt for the movie, which resulted in an injury to his eye. According to reports, during the sequence, an object struck Akshay’s eye. Immediately following the incident, an ophthalmologist was called to the set to attend to the injury. The doctor treated the eye by applying a bandage and advised Akshay to rest for the time being. Despite the injury, Akshay’s professionalism shone through as the shoot continued without further delay, with the other actors proceeding with their scenes.
This unfortunate incident hasn't dampened the spirits of the Housefull 5 team, and the production is still moving forward at full speed. The film is set to be another big entry in the Housefull franchise, which is known for its hilarious, over-the-top plots and larger-than-life characters. In this installment, Akshay Kumar returns as one of the central characters, joined by Riteish Deshmukh, who has been a regular in the series. Additionally, a range of other beloved actors from the previous films will reprise their roles, including Abhishek Bachchan, Shreyas Talpade, Chunky Panday, and Nargis Fakhri, ensuring that the comedic chemistry and charm of the earlier films are carried forward.
Fans of the series can also look forward to some new faces joining the ensemble cast. Fardeen Khan, Dino Morea, Johnny Lever, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Sonam Bajwa, Chitrangda Singh, and Soundarya Sharma will all appear in significant roles, adding fresh energy to the much-anticipated comedy. These additions to the cast have heightened the excitement among fans, who are eager to see how the new dynamics will contribute to the film’s plot.
The production of Housefull 5 started earlier this year, with an adventurous shooting schedule that took the cast to various locations in Europe. The team spent about 40 days filming on a cruise ship, which sailed from Newcastle to several picturesque destinations, including Spain, Normandy, and Honfleur, before returning to Plymouth. This unique setting promises to bring an exciting visual experience to the film, with the stunning backdrops adding a touch of grandeur to the already extravagant Housefull universe.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 is set for release on June 6, 2025. The movie is expected to deliver everything fans love about the franchise — larger-than-life comedy, chaotic family dynamics, and star-studded performances. With Akshay Kumar’s commitment to his craft despite the injury, along with a stellar ensemble cast and an ambitious storyline, Housefull 5 promises to be a highly entertaining addition to the series. Fans eagerly await the film’s release, and with the production continuing smoothly, the excitement only builds as we approach the scheduled release date.
