Akshay Kumar celebrated his 58th birthday on Tuesday, and his longtime buddy Riteish Deshmukh made it extra special with a heartfelt Instagram post. The duo, famous for their hilarious on-screen chemistry, has shared countless fun moments together, both in movies and behind the scenes.
Riteish shared a bunch of candid behind-the-scenes photos from the sets of their latest hit, Housefull 5, to wish Akshay all the best. In his caption, he wrote, “Happy Birthday to my dearest friend, brother & partner-in-crime, @akshaykumar! Wishing you endless health, love, & laughter. We’ve had epic times together, on-screen & off—here’s to more crazy adventures! Love you tons! #happybirthdayakshaykumar.”
Fans love watching Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh team up in the Housefull franchise, but that’s not all. They’ve also starred together in fun films like Heyy Babyy and Namastey London, proving their friendship goes way beyond the camera.
Housefull 5, the newest chapter in this comedy series, boasts a star-studded cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, Johnny Lever, and Sonam Bajwa. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the movie follows a wild plot where multiple imposters pretend to be the son of a late billionaire, all competing for his fortune on a luxury cruise ship. It’s packed with laughs and twists!
The Housefull franchise kicked off back in 2010, inspired by the 1998 Tamil film Kaathala Kaathala. Housefull 2 arrived in 2012, followed by Housefull 3 in 2016 and Housefull 4 in 2019. Each one has kept audiences hooked with its non-stop comedy.
Meanwhile, Riteish Deshmukh is gearing up for his next big project: the fourth installment of the Masti franchise. The original Masti hit theaters in 2004 as a cheeky sex comedy directed by Indra Kumar, featuring Ajay Devgn, Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Lara Dutta, Amrita Rao, Tara Sharma, and Genelia. It led to sequels like Grand Masti and Great Grand Masti, and fans can’t wait to see what’s next in this naughty comedy series.
What a way to mark Akshay Kumar’s birthday—here’s hoping for more epic collabs between these Bollywood powerhouses!
