Veteran Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is gearing up for a busy future with a diverse slate of projects. Here’s a breakdown of his upcoming ventures and his exciting inclusion in the popular Housefull franchise.
Dutt’s acting prowess will be on display in his upcoming antagonist role in Ram and Puri Jagannadh’s film “Double Ismart.” He also has cameo and key character portrayals lined up. He made a special appearance in Shah Rukh Khan’s “Jawan” and will play a pivotal role in Prabhas’ upcoming entertainer “Raja Saab.”
However, news emerged that Dutt parted ways with the “Welcome 3” project due to significant script changes.
While Dutt exited “Welcome To The Jungle,” he has secured a spot in another major franchise – Housefull. The first two installments of the comedy series were critical and commercial successes, with the third receiving a decent reception. Housefull 4 garnered mixed reviews but continued the franchise’s box-office dominance.
This commercial success fueled the creation of “Housefull 5,” with Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh confirmed to reprise their lead roles. Abhishek Bachchan, who was part of the third installment, will also be returning for the fifth chapter. The most exciting addition, however, is Sanjay Dutt, who will play a key role, marking a new chapter for the franchise. Actors like Rana, Arjun Rampal, Rishi Kapoor, and Mithun Chakraborty have previously played such pivotal roles.
Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment will produce “Housefull 5” under the direction of Tarun Mansukhani. The first two installments featured Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta, and Asin and Jacqueline Fernandez as the leading ladies, respectively. Housefull 3 saw Jacqueline Fernandes, Nargis Fakhri, and Lisa Haydon take on the lead female roles, while Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda, and Pooja Hegde graced the screens in Housefull 4. Details regarding the cast for “Housefull 5” are yet to be revealed.
