Golmaal 5 is set to go on floors next month, with Rohit Shetty returning as director. This time, he plans to take a slightly different approach for the sequel. The update has already generated interest among fans of the long-running franchise.
Sources quoted by Bollywood Hungama said Rohit Shetty will follow the format of the classic film Do Aur Do Paanch. The original cast is returning, while Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar will play key roles. Their confrontation is expected to drive the story forward.
The makers are targeting a 2027 release for Golmaal 5. This marks a gap of nearly ten years since the previous film in the series. The long wait has raised curiosity about how the sequel will connect with audiences today.
Another source shared that Rohit Shetty has retained the core theme of the old film. He has developed a fresh screenplay to suit present-day viewers. The conflict between the lead characters is said to resemble the Tom and Jerry dynamic.
Some online users questioned whether the film may feel outdated after such a long gap. At the same time, many remain confident in Rohit Shetty’s vision. This is despite his last two projects not performing strongly at the box office.
With Sharman Joshi also returning, nostalgia is expected to pull audiences to theatres. Netizens, however, advised the makers to keep the budget under control. They also stressed the importance of profit sharing, given recent box office trends.
Comedy remains the film’s strongest pillar and Rohit Shetty’s biggest strength. His experience in the genre is expected to play a key role. The promotional material will show how much his style has evolved over the years.
