Akshay Kumar Suffers Eye Injury While Performing Stunt For Housefull 5 Film

Akshay Kumar, a Bollywood actor renowned for performing his own stunts, recently sustained an eye injury. This incident occurred during the filming of his upcoming comedy drama, "Housefull 5," which is currently being shot in Mumbai. The injury highlights the risks involved in performing stunts without using a double.

A source close to the production shared details about the accident: "An object came flying in Akshay's eye while he was doing a stunt. An ophthalmologist was called on the set immediately, who bandaged the eye and asked him to take some rest, while the shoot resumed with the other actors. However, even with the injury, Akshay is determined to join the shoot back soon because the film is in final stages of shoot, and he doesn't want it to get delayed," he revealed.

"Housefull 5" features a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, who have been constants in the franchise. Joining them are Abhishek Bachchan, Shreyas Talpade, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Nargis Fakhri. Additionally, Dino Morea, Johnny Lever, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Soundarya Sharma, and Sonam Bajwa are part of this ensemble cast.

The film commenced shooting earlier this year in Europe. The cast spent 40 days filming on a cruise starting from Newcastle and traveling through Spain, Honfleur in Normandy, among other locations before returning to Plymouth. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, "Housefull 5" is scheduled for release on June 6, 2025.
