The much-awaited Akshay Kumar starrer, Housefull 5, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, has been given a U/A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Notably, Nadiadwala submitted two different cuts for certification!

"Housefull 5 is a one-of-its-kind comic thriller, and to keep the mystery of this entertainer intact, the producer has submitted two different versions of the film to the CBFC," a source told Pinkvilla.
