Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is all set to return to the world of slapstick comedy with his upcoming film, Housefull 5. The trailer of the madcap comic caper was unveiled by the makers at a grand event in Mumbai on Tuesday, and while at it, the actor hilariously shut down a journalist for wanting to know his fee for the film.
During the event, the makers engaged in a fun banter with a journalist, who wanted to know the fees of the ensemble cast as well as the budget of the film. When he posed the question of remuneration to Akshay, the actor, in his trademark style, replied, "Maine paise liye honge to main tujhe kyu bataunga? Tu hamara bhatija lagta hai?"
He went on to say, "I took a very good amount and the film has also been made on a very good budget. Aaj khushi ka din hai. Raid daalna hai tujhe? Chhod na."
Housefull 5 is reportedly mounted on a massive budget of around Rs 350 crore, and it stars nearly 20 actors, including Akshay, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Shreyas Talpade, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Fardeen Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chitrangada Singh, Chunky Panday, Johnny Lever, and others.
The plot of the film unveils as the entire star cast gets onboard a cruise ship only to end up with a dead body and multiple suspects. As they hunt for the real killer while also chasing a billion-dollar treasure, a comedy of error unfolds, promising a rib-tickling ride in theatres.
To top it, filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala revealed that Housefull 5 has multiple endings. "There will be a different killer everytime you watch the film," he stated.
Housefull 5 is set to hit the silver screens on June 6.
