Akshay Kumar seems to have hit a jackpot! After bouncing back with Kesari Chapter 2, the superstar is ready to drop another bomb — Housefull 5 — but with a twist that’s never been seen before in Indian cinema.
On June 6, not one but two different versions of Housefull 5 will be released in theaters — Housefull 5 and Housefull 5A — both carrying separate climaxes and different killers. Yes, you read that right.
A First for Bollywood: Two Endings, Two Killers
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has come up with a wild new strategy: both versions of the comedy film will feature an entirely different ending. In one version, the identity of the killer will be X, and in the other, it will be Y. The rest of the film remains the same, but the last 20 minutes will be completely different, offering a brand-new twist.
This means that audiences will have to watch both versions to get the complete story — a clever move to boost box office collections.
Why Two Versions?
According to reports, this is a deliberate move to encourage repeat viewing and turn Housefull 5 into a box office phenomenon. Both versions have been submitted separately to the CBFC, and will be listed as distinct entries on platforms like BookMyShow, so that audiences can choose which version they want to watch — or watch both.
Will This Double the Profits — or Backfire?
This strategy could be a game-changer for the Hindi film industry. While some viewers might feel it’s a money-grab, others are excited about the dual mystery twist and the novelty of the concept.
With 19 big actors, slapstick comedy, and now two killers, Housefull 5 is aiming to be more than just another franchise film — it’s aiming for repeat value and blockbuster returns.
The Verdict?
This could be the hit that Akshay Kumar has been waiting for. If the plan works, Housefull 5 might not just be a comedy — it could become a case study in Bollywood marketing genius.
