Filmmaker Rohit Shetty marked his 52nd birthday with a blockbuster announcement—the launch of Golmaal 5. In a hilarious promo video, Bollywood stars Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar revealed the return of the iconic comedy franchise, promising fans another round of slapstick chaos and laughter.
The promo featured the original gang—Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, and Kunal Kemmu—alongside the much-awaited comeback of Sharman Joshi as Laxman, who had been absent from the last two installments. Ajay Devgn teased the explosive reveal in Hindi, while Akshay Kumar quipped, “Nobody leaves a franchise,” referencing his own journey through series like Housefull and Hera Pheri. Arshad Warsi expressed his excitement at rejoining the madness, calling the reunion “pure joy.”
Since its debut in 2006, the Golmaal series has become one of Bollywood’s most successful comedy franchises. Golmaal Again (2017) crossed the ₹300 crore mark worldwide, cementing its place as a box office juggernaut. With Shetty’s flair for larger-than-life entertainment and ensemble comedy, expectations are high for the fifth installment.
While the film is still in its early stages, industry buzz suggests a likely release in 2027. Fans can expect the trademark mix of outrageous gags, quirky characters, and Shetty’s signature style of humor that has kept Golmaal thriving for two decades.
