Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of laughter with Housefull 5! The pre-production work on Tarun Mansukhani's film is likely to go on floors this month. According to a media report, the filmmaker will head to the UK for recce in 10 days.

As per a report in Mid-Day, the reason why the makers of Housefull 5 have charted out a long recce is that Akshay has already shot two films in the UK. The makers of his upcoming comic caper want to visually avoid similar locations. Tarun Mansukhani wishes to bring untapped locations to the big screen.

"He has designated 60 to 65 days for the shoot. The cast will prep thoroughly before flying out to London. Since it is a large cast, the prep will help in efficiency, and reduce wastage of time. Tarun wants to wrap up the principal photography by October before Diwali. Only patch shoots will remain after that," a source told the tabloid.
