Housefull 5 producer and writer, Sajid Nadiadwala, revealed earlier this week that the popular comedy franchise will feature multiple climaxes. Akshay Kumar-led also stars a number of well-known actors, including Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Dino Morea and Fardeen Khan.
Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, is a whodunit and a thriller. Veteran actor Ranjit plays a billionaire who is killed on a lavish cruise. The one question that drives the uncertainty and humour is: Who did it? The big question will not be answered until the very end of the film because it was designed as a murder mystery. The filmmakers have chosen to employ a fresh tactic to further twist the climax at that point.

Housefull 5 producer asserted that even while the movie's various endings offer a fresh take for a Hindi movie, this isn't the first time in global cinema history. It's actually happened in Indian cinema before, back in 1999. Yes, you read that right!
Which Indian Film Had Multiple Endings?
Harikrishnans had two possible outcomes when it was first released. Mohanlal and Mammootty starrer Malayalam movie had sizable and devoted fan bases, therefore, this was done to satisfy them. The idea was to release various versions according to the actor's level of popularity in particular areas. The heroine played by Juhi Chawla chooses Mammootty in the alternate version; however, in the original version, she picks Mohanlal, who will assist her in selecting her partner. But the only one that was certified by the censor board was the Mohanlal version.

The filmmakers received a notice from the board threatening legal action if the uncertified Mammootty version was not removed, even though both versions were released in theatres. Despite legal issues for the filmmakers, the movie became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year, and its inventive concept of having several climaxes attracted viewers to theaters.
Remarkably, the producers also intended for Shah Rukh Khan to be Juhi's romantic partner in a third conclusion. Despite a special shoot, the Bollywood star's Malayalam debut never really happened.
