Director Tarun Mansukhani reacted to his film 'Housefull 5' being called "sexist", saying that the movie's plot is driven by women. "I feel like there is a lot of scrutiny on social media. I also believe that scrutiny tends to only happen on successful films," he added. The film features actresses Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri and Soundarya Sharma.
