'Farhad Samji to gya': Akshay Kumar returns with comedy franchise Housefull 5 in Diwali 2024, netizens react
Taking to Twitter, Akshay shared the announcement poster with the caption that read, “Get ready for FIVE times the madness!"
Actor Akshay Kumar on Friday left her fans excited with the announcement of his comedy franchise Housefull 5. The upcoming fifth instalment will be helmed by Tarun Mansukhani unlike Farhad Samji, who directed the 2019 film Housefull 4. As soon as the news broke, the netizens spammed the microblogging site with mixed reactions.
Taking to Twitter, Akshay shared the announcement poster with the caption that read, “Get ready for FIVE times the madness! Bringing to y'all #SajidNadiadwala’s #Housefull5 Directed by @Tarunmansukhani See you in cinemas on Diwali 2024! @Riteishd @NGEMovies @WardaNadiadwala.” The film will retain actor Riteish Deshmukh, however, the rest of the cast members are yet to be decided.
Reacting to the announcement, one of the Twitter users wrote, “Achha Hua #Housefull5 Se Legend @farhad_samji ko Nikal Diye... Vrna Iss Baar Bahot Badi Badnami Hoti” One of Akshay’s fans commented, “BOSS is ready to comeback with his kingdom.” “Housefull 4 was bakwaas!&Can say the same for #Housefull5.It seems Bollywood prioritizes faces over a solid script. Copypaste remakes dominate the industry, lacking innovation it's become commercial vehicles overused&devoid of creativity, much like private vehicles!”stated another Twitter user. On the other hand, one of the trolls added, “Another Disaster Loading.”
For the unversed, Farhad Samji replaced Sajid Khan as director after the latter was accused of sexual harassment. The film had Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Pooja Hegde, Kriti Kharbanda, Chunky Panday and Rana Daggubati in pivotal roles apart from Akshay and Riteish Deshmukh. The fourth instalment revolved around three brothers who are set to marry three sisters, however, their brides have been mixed up in their current reincarnation.
Talking about the upcoming fifth instalment, producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who has reportedly planned to create a ‘Housefull universe’ by bringing all the actors under one roof, has finally locked the plot to justify the presence of the characters. Housefull 5 is set for Diwali 2024 release.
