Housefull 5 Event In Pune Turns Chaotic: Akshay Kumar Steps In, Jacqueline Comforts Crying Kid
Last Updated: Chaos erupts at Housefull 5 Pune event as massive crowd causes stampede scare. Akshay Kumar steps in, urges fans to stay calm. The cast of Housefull 5 — Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Soundarya Sharma, and Fardeen Khan — flew to Pune on Sunday for a fan interaction event to promote their upcoming comedy film. What began as a festive gathering, however, quickly turned into a tense situation as the overwhelming turnout of fans led to crowd control issues. As the stars made their entrance at a packed city mall, excitement among the audience escalated to a dangerous level. With every inch of the venue — from the main event floor to the upper levels — filled with enthusiastic fans, things spiraled out of control. The crowd's reaction created a near stampede-like scenario, forcing Akshay Kumar to take charge and appeal for calm. Amid the chaos, several videos went viral on social media showing fans, especially women and young girls, in distress. In one clip, a young girl was seen crying in front of the stage after getting separated from her parents. Jacqueline Fernandez stepped in to comfort her and assured her family she was safe. Akshay Kumar, visibly concerned, took the microphone to address the crowd and urged them to stay calm. 'Dhakka dhukki mat kariye, please. Haath jod ke vinanti karta hoon, yaha auratein hai, bacche hai…I request everyone, please," he said with folded hands, while the rest of the team looked on with concern. Thankfully, the situation was brought under control shortly after his appeal. The cast resumed the event as planned, interacting with fans, performing on stage, and even joining in a friendly game of phoogdi — not just among themselves but with the audience too. Despite the rocky start, the team wrapped up the promotional activity on schedule, ensuring fans still had memorable moments with their favourite stars. Housefull 5 different endings Before Akshay Kumar returns with his superhit Housefull franchise in theatres, producer Sajid Nadiadwala made a unique announcement. He mentioned that Housefull 5 will offer a groundbreaking twist in cinematic storytelling by featuring two entirely different climaxes, with each theatre presenting its unique ending. The bold experiment was announced on the 75th anniversary of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. First Published:

Housefull 5 team's Pune event turns chaotic, Akshay Kumar requests crowd to calm down
The cast of the upcoming comedy film Housefull 5, including Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Soundarya Sharma, and Fardeen Khan, travelled to Pune on Sunday for a promotional event. The fan gathering, held at a popular city mall, quickly turned chaotic as thousands of fans showed up, leading to a near-stampede situation. As the actors took the stage, excitement surged through the packed mall. Fans filled every corner — from the event zone to the upper floors and balconies. Videos now circulating on social media show emotional scenes, with young girls in tears and attendees at the back struggling to breathe and find space. Amid the rising tension, Akshay Kumar took charge. From the stage, he folded his hands and made a heartfelt appeal in Hindi, 'Haath jod ke binti karta hu, yaha auratein hai, bacche hai, please dhakka-dhukki mat kariye (I fold my hands and request you — there are women and children here, please don't push or shove.)' His calm yet firm message helped restore order. Once the situation was under control, the event continued as planned. The stars interacted with fans, danced, and even played phoogdi, a traditional game, spreading joy and laughter. Despite the rocky start, the Housefull 5 team managed to leave fans delighted, though the incident has raised concerns about crowd management and safety at such large-scale promotions. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, 'Housefull 5' stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, 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. The makers had dropped a teaser on April 30, marking 15 years of the Housefull series. It featured a new story, set on a fancy cruise ship and a murder mystery.

Housefull 5 Advance Booking Box Office: Akshay Kumar starrer sells 5,700 tickets in top national chains, aims to gain momentum
Housefull 5, marking the return of Akshay Kumar to the comedy genre, is gearing up for release in a couple of days. The comedy caper, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, is registering decent advance sales for the opening day. Housefull 5 sells 5,700 tickets in top multiplex chains Bankrolled by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Housefull 5 opened to full-fledged advance booking today in the morning, five days prior to the release. The movie has sold so far 5,700 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis - for the opening day in India. The movie is expected to pick up sales soon as it moves closer to release. Ideally, it should have crossed 10,000 admissions by tonight; nevertheless, the movie still has five days in hand to clock a solid advance booking before hitting the cinemas. For the uninitiated, Housefull is releasing in two different versions—Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B—with different climaxes. It will be interesting to see whether this one-of-a-kind move can help the movie gain momentum and traction at the box office. Housefull 5 to clash with Kamal Haasan's Thug Life Considered among the big-ticket entertainers, Housefull 5 will clash with Thug Life at the box office. Though the Akshay Kumar movie will have an upper hand in the screen count, the latter can dent its box office potential if opened with superlative word-of-mouth. Interestingly, the Kamal Haasan starrer movie has adopted an 8-week OTT window in order to maximize its chances of working at the Hindi box office. Housefull 5 is hitting the big screens on June 6, a day after Thug Life's release. Let's see how the comedy caper performs against the big Tamil release. Serving as the 5th installment in the popular Housefull franchise, the comedy caper boasts an ensemble star cast that includes Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Fardeen Khan, Chitrangda Singh, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, and Soundarya Sharma.

Housefull 5 set to clash with Kamal Haasan's Thug Life The Akshay Kumar starrer is all set to clash with the Kamal Haasan-Mani Ratnam movie, Thug Life, at the box office. While Housefull 5 is releasing on June 6th (Friday), the latter is hitting the screens a day earlier on June 5th (Thursday).
