Rohit Shetty’s latest poster for Golmaal 5 drops, and it’s a visual feast of the franchise’s signature ragtag crew. Ajay Devgn, the star of the series, is front‑and‑center, flanked by familiar faces—Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemu, Shreyas Talpade, and the long‑awaited return of Sharman Joshi. The poster’s one‑liner—“Laughter, Fun, Joy, Happiness and Family… Bas, Nothing Else”—is a promise of the brand‑new comedy that’s set to hit screens next year.
While the poster showcases the ensemble, Akshay Kumar—who’s confirmed to join the cast—was conspicuously absent, a subtle hint that his role might be a surprise guest or a cameo that will keep the audience guessing.
Filming kicked off in April 2026 in Ooty, and the team completed dialogue shoots by August, leaving only a couple of songs—including the title track—to be filmed. The production timeline shows the crew’s disciplined approach, a hallmark of Rohit Shetty’s projects.
Devgn returns as Gopal, a role that’s been a staple across the franchise, while Sharman Joshi steps back into the spotlight after a 20‑year hiatus, reviving his character Laxman. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar’s entry could mean a fresh antagonist dynamic, a twist that could spice up the traditional slapstick formula.
The Golmaal saga began in 2006 with the original, followed by sequels in 2008, 2010, and 2017, establishing its place as a staple of Bollywood comedy. Each installment has pushed the envelope in terms of timing and humor, and fans are already speculating that this fifth outing will outdo the rest.
With a release set for January 8, 2027, Golmaal 5 is poised to bring a wave of laughter to theatres, and the buzz is already building. Stay tuned as the franchise prepares to deliver its signature brand of chaotic fun.
