What's left behind the scenes
- It was intended that John Abraham and Bobby Deol would once again play characters from Sajid Khan's 'Housefull 2' (2012) and Farhad Samji's 'Housefull 4' (2019), but they left the franchise following the commercial success of the thrillers 'Pathaan' (Siddharth Anand, 2023) and 'Animal' (Sandeep Reddy Vanga, 2023).
- The first film featuring both Sanjay Dutt and Nana Patekar. Patekar had publicly stated that he would never work with Dutt due to the allegations brought against the latter following the Bombay riots from December 1992 to January 1993.
