Akshay Kumar's 'Housefull 5' will now be releasing on a new date. Official statements say that the reason for this delay is because of the VFX work, which needs more time. The film, which was originally supposed to hit the screens on Diwali next year, has been pushed to May 6, 2025.
Akshay Kumar took to his social media accounts to announce the same. He assured fans “5 times the entertainment is on its way!”
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the comedic film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.
