Sajid Nadiadwala-backed Housefull 5 opened to Rs 24 crore at the box office, a decent number compared to the first-day collections of recent Bollywood releases. To celebrate the occasion, Nadiadwala watched the film inside a theatre with the audience. Upon realising who he was, fans flocked around him for photos. He was also seen signing autographs on T-shirts. His video comes after Akshay Kumar went incognito to take the audience's feedback outside a theatre earlier today and almost got caught. Sajid Nadiadwala has been making headlines for his jaw-dropping transformation. In a video going viral, the film producer, who is estimated to have a net worth of Rs 1500 crore, sat silently among the audience to gauge their reaction. He soon revealed himself and celebrated the film's good opening numbers with the audience. Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Sajid Nadiadwala experimented with two different endings for Housefull 5, which varied across theatres. Speaking about it, the film producer shared, '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." He added, '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 mentioned, '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." Housefull 5 boasts an ensemble of 19 stars, comprising Akshay Kumar, joined by returning favourites and some new faces including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir.
