The first two Housefull instalments were directed by Sajid Khan.
The third was directed by Sajid and Farhad Samji while the fourth film was solely directed by Farhad.
Housefull was released in 2010 and featured an all-star cast. This included the likes of Arjun Rampal, Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone, Malaika Arora, Boman Irani and Chunky Pandey.
The second instalment, released in 2012, featured John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez and Asin.
Housefull 3 was released in 2016 and saw Jacqueline return alongside Abhishek Bachchan, Nargis Fakhri and Boman Irani.
The most recent film was released in 2019 and featured Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Pooja Hegde and Kriti Kharbanda.
As well as Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, Chunky Pandey has also been a part of the entire franchise.
Although no other cast members have been announced yet, it is likely that Chunky will make an appearance in the 2024 film.
Away from Housefull, Akshay Kumar was last seen in Selfiee, which failed to impress audiences at the box office.
He will be next seen in OMG 2, which is set to be released on August 11, 2023.
