Ahead of the release, there were speculations about the movie being inspired by popular Korean series Squid Game, American movie Glass Onion and Death On The Nile. Recently, Housefull 5 director Tarun Mansukhani reacted to the ongoing rumours. He shared that he hasn’t heard any such speculations. But he is happy that people are talking about the movie and there is buzz around it. Here is what Mansukhani said.

In an interview with Galatta India, Tarun reacted to the mask scenes being inspired by Squid Game frontman. He further shared his opinion on the rumours that Housefull 5’s story is inspired by Glass Onion and Death On The Nile. Tarun said, “Honestly, these rumours haven't reached me yet because after the trailer launch, I was inside the studio and post that, I didn't get to know what was happening outside, how many good or bad comments are coming. And when the film releases, everybody will understand. I'm happy that someone is watching and saying something - that it's taken from somewhere or they are connecting it to something - It's good. That's the marketing that people talk about.”

“So, do enjoy and talk more and watch more things and pause, take screenshots so that your interest keeps building on and you have fun when it releases. At that time, you'll get to know if you were wrong or right and nudge your friends that you told them this, this is all I want should happen, and all these things - that is what a true experience of viewing films,” he added.
