While the male lineup includes familiar faces like Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, and Nana Patekar, sources have confirmed that Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Chitrangada Singh, and Soundarya Sharma will feature as the five female leads. “It’s a well-thought-out ensemble, and every character plays a crucial role,” revealed a source.

The movie is set to begin its 45-day shooting schedule in London on September 15.

The source added that the initial scenes will be shot in London before the cast moves aboard the cruise, where chaos and comedy will unfold.

Following the London shoot, the team will return to Mumbai for additional scenes later in the year.

The film is on track for its planned June 6, 2025 release, coinciding with the Bakra Eid weekend.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 will once again see Akshay Kumar in a comic avatar, this time with a new character trait designed to leave audiences in splits.
