The wait for India’s favorite comedy franchise is finally over. Director Rohit Shetty has officially rolled the cameras for Golmaal 5, the fifth installment of the blockbuster series. The shoot commenced this week at Mumbai’s Film City, marking the return of the iconic “Gopal and gang” to the big screen.
While the core team remains the heart of the film, this chapter brings some fresh energy to the mix. National Award-winning actress Priyamani has officially joined the cast, adding a new dimension to the ensemble. Fans are also buzzing about the inclusion of Akshay Kumar, who is reportedly playing a major role that will lead to a hilarious face-off with the original boys.
A Grand Setup at Film City
Breaking away from his usual tradition of shooting in Goa or Hyderabad, Rohit Shetty has chosen to film a significant portion of Golmaal 5 in Mumbai. Elaborate sets, including a massive café, a palatial mansion, and a police station, have already been erected.
Insiders suggest that the atmosphere on set is electric. The director, known for his signature style of slapstick humor and high-octane action, began the first schedule on Monday with the primary cast. Lead actor Ajay Devgn is expected to join the filming tomorrow, February 25, once he wraps up his prior commitments.
The Original Gang Reunites
The “OG” squad—Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, and Kunal Kemmu—are all back to reprise their beloved roles. In a nostalgic twist for long-time fans, Sharman Joshi, who was part of the very first Golmaal (2006), is also rumored to be making a comeback after nearly 20 years.
Supporting comedy veterans like Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, and Mukesh Tiwari will also return, ensuring that the franchise’s legacy of “non-stop laughter” remains intact.
Security and Release Plans
The production is moving forward under tight security. Following recent security concerns involving the director, the sets are being guarded by a two-tier system involving both local police and Shetty’s personal security team to ensure a smooth filming process.
Golmaal 5 is being produced on a grand scale, with makers aiming for a theatrical release in the first half of 2027. As the franchise celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, the fifth installment promises to be the biggest and funniest one yet. To know such latest updates tuned tellyboosters.com Thank you!
