In an era where cinematic formulas and trends feel safe, producer Sajid Nadiadwala is rewriting the rules. His upcoming film Housefull 5, the fifth instalment in his iconic comedy franchise, Nadiadwala ventures into uncharted creative territory: a theatrical release with multiple climaxes. Sajid has written two alternate climaxes for the film, which means every theatre will play a different climax. It’s a storytelling swing few would dare and the kind of bold thinking that has come to define his legacy and marking glorious 75 Years of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
Check out the Housefull 5 trailer:
While alternate endings have occasionally surfaced in film history, they remain rare — and rarely attempted on a global scale. But never before has a mainstream Hindi comedy-murder mystery ever embraced such narrative.
“With Housefull 5, we wanted to take a bold creative swing that hasn’t been done before internationally for any thriller film. The idea of having multiple endings, multiple experiences has been with me for 30 years. Since, I wanted to make Housefull 5 a thriller comedy, there couldn’t have been a better way to execute my idea of having multiple endings than this.” – Sajid Nadiadwala
He adds, “It felt right to do something radical as we celebrate 75 years of Nadiadwala Grandson in the industry. Housefull is India’s biggest comedy franchise and for the fifth instalment, we had to push the boundaries of what comedy can be. The idea of different endings came from a simple question: why should the audience always have just one version of the truth in a thriller? With Housefull 5, we’ve built a film that plays with form while staying completely rooted in entertainment. It’s a killer comedy, literally, with twists that change depending on where you’re watching it. and I’m proud we’re doing it under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson as we mark 75 years in the business. Our legacy has always been about embracing scale, stars, and giving audiences newer experiences and Housefull 5 takes all it to another level.”
He further adds, “It’s a natural extension of the theatrical experience: creating intrigue, rewatch value, and a sense of discovery. In a world of spoilers and algorithms, we’re bringing back that element of surprise. And that’s where the fun begins.”
Boasting an ensemble of 19 stars, Housefull 5 is the most glam-packet killer comedy ever.
