Filmmaker Rohit Shetty is preparing to revive his popular comedy franchise Golmaal with its fifth instalment. The film is reportedly targeting a 2027 release under Rohit Shetty Picturez. The project has already generated strong excitement among Bollywood comedy fans.
Golmaal 5 is expected to reunite the franchise’s familiar ensemble cast. Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Kunal Kemmu, Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi are likely to return. The film promises larger scale humour and the signature chaotic energy that defines the Golmaal series.
Akshay Kumar is also expected to join the franchise for the first time. Reports suggest that he has allocated 18 days for the shoot. According to a Pinkvilla report, his role will introduce a humorous rivalry with Ajay Devgn.
Sources indicate that the dynamic between Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn could resemble a Tom and Jerry style comic rivalry. The character is expected to bring fresh humour to the story. Akshay’s comic timing and screen presence could become a major highlight.
Production insiders have clarified that the upcoming film will expand the Golmaal universe. It will not be a remake as previously speculated. Most production details remain confidential, but the casting updates have already increased audience anticipation.
The announcement has excited fans, though some remain cautious about the box office prospects. Both Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn delivered underwhelming comedy films in 2025 with Housefull 5 and Son of Sardaar 2. These releases received mixed responses from audiences.
Despite those setbacks, Rohit Shetty’s track record with the Golmaal franchise remains strong. Fans hope the film will revive large scale Bollywood comedy. Many viewers believe a strong script and fresh character dynamics will be essential for its success.
