Actor Akshay Kumar, who is presently filming Housefull 5 in Mumbai, encountered an accident while performing a stunt for the movie.
It has been reported that the actor sustained an eye injury during the incident. According to Hindustan Times, an object struck Akshay’s eye while he was engaged in a stunt. An ophthalmologist was immediately summoned to the set, who treated the eye with a bandage and advised him to rest. Despite the injury, the shoot continued with the other actors.
Akshay, however, is determined to return to the set soon as the film is nearing completion, and he wishes to avoid any delays.
Housefull 5 boasts an ensemble cast, including series regulars Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, along with the return of Abhishek Bachchan, Shreyas Talpade, Chunky Panday, and Nargis Fakhri. New additions to the cast feature Fardeen Khan, Dino Morea, Johnny Lever, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Sonam Bajwa, Chitrangda Singh, and Soundarya Sharma.
The film commenced production earlier this year in Europe, with the cast spending 40 days filming on a cruise ship that sailed from Newcastle to Spain, Normandy, Honfleur, and back to Plymouth.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 is slated for a release on June 6, 2025.
