Director Rohit Shetty and actor Ajay Devgn, one of Bollywood’s most successful director-actor duos, are gearing up to revive their popular Golmaal franchise with a fifth installment. Trade insiders have revealed that preparations for Golmaal 5 are underway, with casting being finalized. After the blockbuster success of Singham Again, the duo is reportedly taking a break from their hit cop action series to dive back into the world of Golmaal.
Their latest film, Singham Again, has been a major box office hit, amassing over Rs 275 crore globally, according to reports from Sacnilk.com. The film, which continues Shetty’s streak of action-packed police dramas, has garnered both critical and commercial success. With the film still performing well in theaters, the director and actor are already setting their sights on their next project.
The Golmaal series, known for its ensemble cast and quirky humor, first hit screens in 2006 and has since become a beloved comedy franchise in Indian cinema. Over the years, the films have featured recurring actors such as Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, and Kunal Kemmu, all of whom have been pivotal to its success. While there’s no official confirmation yet on the complete cast for Golmaal 5, it is widely anticipated that the core team will return to reprise their popular roles.
The last film in the series, Golmaal Again (2017), experimented with a supernatural theme, diverging from its typical comedic formula, which paid off handsomely at the box office. As fans eagerly await the next installment, the question remains whether Shetty will continue to explore new concepts or stick to the formula that made the earlier films such crowd-pleasers.
Sources indicate that Golmaal 5 might either extend the storyline from a previous film or create a fresh narrative with the beloved characters in a new setting. Given Shetty’s penchant for blending comedy with unique storylines, there’s curiosity about whether he will innovate with the franchise’s established formula. With nearly eight years having passed since the last film, expectations are high regarding how Shetty and Devgn will refresh the comedy for a new generation of viewers.
The collaboration between Shetty and Devgn has consistently delivered at the box office, with franchises like Singham and Golmaal cementing their status as a formidable team in Bollywood. As work on Golmaal 5 begins, the industry is keenly watching to see if they can continue their streak of box office success. An official announcement from the filmmakers is awaited, with more details on the cast and release date expected to follow soon.
