There is no denying the fact that Housefull is one of the most successful comedy franchises that Bollywood has ever produced. The series has seen the release of four instalments to date and each one of them has performed better than the previous one.

Housefull 4, the latest instalment of the super successful franchise, hit the silver screen on 25th October. With a gross of ₹230.02 crore in India and ₹47.46 crore overseas, it has taken its worldwide gross collection to ₹277.48 crore. Housefull 4 have now become the sixth highest grossing Bollywood movie of 2019.


The latest we hear that buoyed up by the huge success of the fourth instalment, the team at Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment is planning the fifth part of the franchise. Buzz also has it that Deepika Padukone and Akshay Kumar, who starred in Housefull (2010), could come together to headline Housefull 5.

Recently, Akshay Kumar, who has been a constant in the entire Housefull franchise, shared a picture on social media, which featured old and new cast members of the franchise and hinted at the fifth instalment of the Housefull franchise. "Last night was Housefull of fun with friends from Housefull 1, 2, 3 and 4. Gearing up for 5? I don't know," wrote Akshay Kumar.

Now, a source told a popular tabloid that producer Sajid Nadiadwala wants to expand the series. He wants to bring home some old faces, including actress Deepika Padukone, who played the female lead opposite Akshay in the first part of the franchise.

"The basic premise of all the Housefull films results from confusion between three couples. For part five, Sajid wants to throw five couples into the mix to amp up the fun by five times," the source said.

"Since the film demands a huge ensemble, it is essential to get coordinated bulk dates from all the actors. There will be clarity on the shoot schedule and the release date only when the script is locked," the source concluded.

L2: Empuraan - A film that shattered records and sparked a political storm

Few films manage to be both a record-breaking success and a lightning rod for controversy at the same time. But L2: Empuraan, the much-hyped sequel to Lucifer, has done exactly that. The Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial, starring Mohanlal, has not only rewritten and shattered box office history but also sparked a nationwide debate on censorship, political narratives, and artistic freedom.

On one hand, it’s the fastest Malayalam film to gross £5.1 million (₹50 crore) in Kerala, the first Malayalam film to cross £10.2 million (₹100 crore) overseas, and a £20.4 million (₹200 crore) club entrant within just five days. On the other hand, it has been accused of pushing a political agenda, leading to 2m 8s, 24 last-minute cuts, a legal battle, and a full-blown culture war.

Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan & more: Sam Mendes’ Beatles Biopics' cast revealed for the epic four-film event in 2028

Hollywood is about to take us on a journey like never before through the lives of ‘The Beatles,’ one member at a time! Director Sam Mendes, known for films like 1917 and Skyfall, has revealed the actors who’ll step into the shoes of John, Paul, George, and Ringo in four separate biopics, all hitting theatres in April 2028.

Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, Paul Mescal takes on Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan becomes Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn transforms into George Harrison. The announcement came at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where Mendes and the cast surprised the crowd.
