Golmaal 5 Shooting Began In March

Production on Golmaal 5 began in March this year, bringing together a large ensemble led by Ajay Devgn, along with Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu and Sharman Joshi. The film officially went on floors on Rohit Shetty's 52nd birthday.

At the time, Shetty reflected on how far the franchise had come since its first film arrived two decades ago. He also acknowledged the role audiences have played in the series' journey.

Expressing his excitement, the director had then mentioned that 20 years ago, the first Golmaal was released, a film that changed his life.

He further mentioned, “The credit goes to you, my audience. Over the past 20 years, we have entertained you, and yes, sometimes disappointed you, but we have always been honest in our work.”

“So now, once again, my fabulous team and I are set on a journey to entertain you as we start filming G5. You have always loved and supported me. All we need is your blessings. See you at the movies."

Looking Back At The 'Golmaal' Franchise

The original Golmaal hit theatres in 2006, featuring Ajay Devgn, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and Sharman Joshi alongside Rimi Sen and Paresh Rawal.

The film was reportedly based on Harsh Shivsharan's Marathi play Ghar Ghar, which also inspired Vora's Gujarati play Aflatoon, one of the inspirations for the film.

The franchise subsequently expanded with Golmaal Returns in 2008, Golmaal 3 in 2010 and Golmaal Again in 2017. Across the series, Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Sanjay Mishra, Vrajesh Hirjee and Mukesh Tiwari have appeared in the films. Shreyas Talpade featured in three instalments, while Kunal Kemmu and Johnny Lever appeared in two.

With Akshay Kumar joining the fifth film, Golmaal 5 is now set for its theatrical release on January 8, 2027.
