Jackie Shroff Reveals Akshay Kumar’s Pranks on 'Housefull 5' Set

At the trailer launch of the much-anticipated comedy film Housefull 5, veteran actor Jackie Shroff delighted fans and media by sharing amusing behind-the-scenes stories — particularly about Akshay Kumar's well-known love for playing pranks. The film, directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, has been generating a lot of buzz, and Jackie’s humorous anecdotes added even more excitement to its upcoming release.

During the event, Jackie Shroff spoke fondly of the camaraderie on set and how Akshay Kumar, often referred to as Bollywood’s “Khiladi,” kept the environment light-hearted with his playful mischief. Jackie, with his signature wit, dubbed Akshay the “biggest prankster” on the sets of Housefull 5. He praised Akshay’s ability to lift the spirits of everyone around and called him a “first-class badmaash” — a term used affectionately in Hindi to describe a charming troublemaker.

In a moment of playful banter during the event, a reporter asked Akshay if he played any pranks during the filming of Housefull 5. True to his humorous nature, Akshay turned the tables and jokingly blamed Jackie for being the real mischief-maker. Jackie, laughing heartily, replied in Hindi, “Yeh sabse bada prankster hai. Itne bade bade joker hai, sabse bada jisne abhi bola hai woh safed suit mein hai... Ek number ka badmaash hai.” Translated to English, Jackie said, “He’s the biggest prankster. All of them are big jokers, but the biggest one is the one who just spoke — the one in the white suit. He’s a first-class mischief-maker.”

The exchange between the two actors highlighted the strong bond and mutual respect they share, not just as co-stars but as friends. It also gave fans a glimpse of the fun and joyful atmosphere that likely carried through the filming process — a trait the Housefull franchise is widely known for.

Akshay Kumar is famous in the film industry for his punctuality, discipline, and light-hearted pranks on set. His co-stars from various projects have frequently spoken about how his jokes help create a positive, stress-free working environment. With Housefull 5, which brings together a large ensemble cast and promises another roller-coaster of comedy, it’s no surprise that his antics were in full swing.

Housefull 5 continues the legacy of the popular franchise, which has been loved for its slapstick humor, quirky characters, and over-the-top comedy. The fifth installment promises to be bigger and funnier, with a cast that includes returning favorites and new additions.

With Jackie Shroff joining the madness this time, the film is expected to deliver a fresh dose of laughter. His dynamic with Akshay Kumar, both on and off screen, is one of the many reasons fans are eagerly waiting for the film’s release.

The cheerful atmosphere and humorous incidents shared by the cast give audiences every reason to expect Housefull 5 to be a full-on entertainer.
