Get ready for a laughter riot that’s grander than ever!
Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay Kumar are back with the fifth installment of their iconic comedy franchise Housefull—and this time, it’s not just funny, it’s insanely expensive too!
Housefull 5 Budget revealed! With a whopping production cost, this high-octane comedy-thriller ranks among Bollywood’s biggest and boldest ventures yet.
Housefull 5 Budget: Rs 225 Crore and Counting – Comedy Just Got a Big-Budget Upgrade
Yep, you read that right!
Housefull 5 has been made on a jaw-dropping budget of ₹225 crore—excluding promotions and ads.
That officially makes it the most expensive comedy film in the history of Indian cinema. Even blockbusters like Housefull 4 and Golmaal Again are left behind in the budget race!
This upcoming entertainer has gone all out—from shooting on an actual cruise ship across international waters to building lavish sets in Mumbai.
The shoot spanned over 90 days, with a massive ensemble cast and logistically challenging locations.
The result? A full-blown comedy spectacle like never before!
A Killer Comedy With A Cast To Match
Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment has pulled out all the stops.
With a star cast of 19 powerhouse performers, putting this movie together was no cakewalk.
A source close to the production revealed, “It’s a killer comedy loaded with big names and big laughs. Sajid Nadiadwala has made sure not to cut corners—this is pure entertainment, delivered with full glam and glory.”
Second Most Expensive Film of Akshay Kumar’s Career
While Akshay Kumar is no stranger to big-budget films, Housefull 5 still ranks high on the list.
It’s his second-most-expensive film ever, just after Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (₹350+ crore) and ahead of Sooryavanshi (₹250 crore). That’s saying something!
Insiders say these production numbers are accurate and not just inflated for buzz.
In fact, the budget was finalized only after the cast and shoot schedules were locked in.
Risky Move or Masterstroke? NGE Bets Big on Comedy
Mounting a comedy film on this scale is not something you see every day in Bollywood. But Sajid Nadiadwala has done just that.
It’s a bold move from NGE (Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment) to invest such a hefty amount into a genre that’s usually considered ‘safe but small-budget’.
With strong pre-release buzz, especially overseas, the film is expected to earn Akshay Kumar one of his best-ever international openings.
The advance bookings opened this past Saturday, and momentum is picking up as we inch closer to release day.
Housefull 5 Budget Recovery: Big Money from Satellite, Digital, and Music Rights
Thanks to the franchise’s popularity, Housefull 5 has already raked in impressive deals from satellite, streaming, and music platforms.
But the real test begins June 6, when audiences flock to cinemas to see if the film lives up to the hype.
The teaser, trailer, and soundtrack all scream classic Housefull fun—with a fresh twist for post-pandemic viewers who are craving feel-good entertainers.
So mark your calendars—Friday, June 6, 2025, is when the madness hits theaters. Get ready to laugh out loud, Bollywood-style!
