The immensely popular Rohit Shetty-directed Golmaal franchise is finally gearing up for its much-awaited fifth installment, Golmaal FIVE. After a significant demand from audiences, the comic caper is slated to begin filming in March 2026, promising another dose of laughter and entertainment.
The Buzz Around Golmaal FIVE's Plot Initially, reports from reliable sources suggested that Rohit Shetty was drawing inspiration from the classic Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor starrer, *Do Aur Do Paanch*, for the storyline of Golmaal FIVE. This approach aligns with Shetty's past successful adaptations of yesteryear comedies for the Golmaal series, such as *Aaj Ki Taza Khabar* for Golmaal Returns and *Khatta Meetha* for Golmaal 3.
However, in a recent development, Rohit Shetty Productions has issued a firm statement clarifying that Golmaal FIVE is not inspired by or based on Do Aur Do Paanch, deeming the previous reports as 'factually incorrect, misleading and completely untrue'.
Star-Studded Cast and Fresh Rivalries
• Leading Duo: The film is set to bring together two Bollywood powerhouses, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar, for the very first time in a comic setup, playing key characters in the narrative.
• The Original Gang: They will be joined by the beloved ensemble cast, including Arshad Warsi, Kunal Kemmu, Sharman Joshi, and Tusshar Kapoor, ensuring the signature Golmaal camaraderie.
• Modern Comic Combat: Sources hinted at a fresh screenplay penned by Rohit Shetty, taking a germ of an idea and developing a story palatable for today's audience. The on-screen dynamic between characters is envisioned to be a 'Tom and Jerry'-like fight, reflecting human interactions in 2026.
Production Timeline and Release Rohit Shetty plans an intensive shooting schedule for Golmaal FIVE, running from March to June 2026. Fans can mark their calendars as the much-anticipated movie is slated for a grand release in 2027. This collaboration between Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar in a comic setup is undoubtedly one of the most exciting aspects of the upcoming film, promising a fresh and hilarious experience for audiences.
