The makers of Housefull 5 have released two versions of the film, having different endings. Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff play the role of police officers, trying to investigate the mysterious murders on the ship. In version ‘A’, it is revealed that Abhishek Bachchan aka Jalbhushan is the killer along with Fardeen Khan aka Dev. Meanwhile, in the second version, Chitrangda Singh aka Maya turned out to be the killer alongside Abhishek Bachchan aka Jalbhushan. In the turn of events, the characters claiming to be Jolly turned out to be fake and Bobby Deol made a cameo appearance as the real Jolly.
‘Housefull 5’ is not the first Indian movie to adopt this strategy of releasing different versions. In 1998, the Malayalam movie ‘Harikrishnans’ did the same things and became a massive success. As the movie featured the superstars Mohanlal and Mammootty with Juhi Chawala, it had already created a huge hype. The makers wanted to satisfy the fans of Mammootty and Mohanlal as Harikrishnans focused on the love triangle.
