Abhishek Bachchan is set to showcase his underrated comedic talent as Housefull 5 gears up for release under the direction of Tarun Mansukhani. The much-anticipated next chapter in the blockbuster Housefull franchise will see Bachchan join a dynamic cast, including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Jacqueline Fernandez, with filming taking place in Mumbai. Fans can expect the movie to premiere in 2025, blending the series’ signature humor with an exciting new murder mystery element.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 represents a bold return for the director after his long break, and excitement around the comedic abilities of Abhishek Bachchan is building. Drawing from a personal connection, Mansukhani shared,
“I always have a great time working with Abhishek, whether as a director or as an assistant. We even sulk with each other and then something happens on set and we both just look at each other from across the set and know what the other is thinking and burst out laughing. Since we’ve known each other since we were 16, our bond goes beyond an actor-director friendship.”
The Housefull series is renowned for its blend of chaos, confusion, and humor, and Housefull 5 promises to take the concept further by introducing a whodunit twist to keep audiences guessing. While the film stays true to its roots in comedy, Abhishek Bachchan’s unique style and dry wit are set to bring fresh energy to the project. Tarun Mansukhani emphasized this point, adding,
“Definitely it is. Not only is his sense of humour dry like mine but we both love physical comedy as well. He is very underrated in comedy and I hope more writers and directors cast him in comedies.”
The return of the Housefull franchise, featuring Abhishek Bachchan, signals a promising blend of laughter and suspense, ensuring viewers are treated to both hilarity and intrigue. Industry watchers believe Bachchan’s performance could lead to greater recognition of his strengths in the comedy genre, potentially influencing future casting choices and opening doors for more comedic roles.
