Abhishek Bachchan joins the ensemble cast of 'Housefull 5'; says, "returning feels like coming home"

The 'Housefull' franchise has always been special, both for the makers as well as the audiences as it still continues to entertain them years after year. Now after announcing the 5th installment of the franchise, Sajid Nadiadwala has shared exciting news about Abhishek Bachchan returning to the star-packed cast of Housefull 5. Filming is set to commence in the UK from August 2024, promising an adventure filled with laughter. With Abhishek Bachchan's exceptional comedic timing, fans can expect even more entertainment.

Expressing his joy, Sajid Nadiadwala stated, "I am delighted to welcome Abhishek back to the Housefull franchise. His commitment, comedic talent, and sincerity will enhance our film."

Abhishek also expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "Housefull is among my favorite comedy series, and returning feels like coming home. Working with Sajid Nadiadwala has always been a pleasure. I eagerly await the fun moments on set with my co-stars Akshay and Ritesh. Additionally, I'm thrilled to collaborate once again with my dear friend Tarun Mansukhani. It's exciting to reunite after Dostana. This will be an enjoyable experience."
