Production house Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment shared the news of Bachchan’s casting on its official X page. “We’re pleased to announce @juniorbachchan joining the Housefull fam once again, we’re happy to have you back. #SajidNadiadwala’s #Housefull5 Directed by @Tarunmansukhani @akshaykumar @Riteishd @WardaNadiadwala,” the banner said in the post. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, ‘Housefull 5’ will be directed by Tarun Mansukhani, known for ‘Dostana’ and ‘Drive’.

Sharing his excitement, Abhishek said in a statement, “Housefull is one of my favourite comedy franchises and coming back feels like returning home. It’s always been a great pleasure to work with Sajid Nadiadwala. I am looking forward to having mad fun on the sets with my fellow actors Akshay and Ritesh. I’m also so excited to collaborate again with my dear friend Tarun Mansukhani. I’m really looking forward to working with him again after Dostana. This is going to be a lot of fun.”
