Director Rohit Shetty has officially started filming Golmaal 5, the fifth installment of one of Bollywood’s most successful comedy franchises. The announcement was made with a fun behind-the-scenes video featuring the returning cast and a major new addition to the series.

The Golmaal franchise, which began in 2006, has been hugely popular for its slapstick humor and ensemble cast led by Ajay Devgn. Over the years, the series has built a loyal fan base and delivered several box-office hits.

With production now underway, fans are expecting another high-energy comedy packed with chaos, pranks and the trademark Golmaal humor.

Akshay Kumar Joins the Franchise in Bald Look

One of the biggest surprises in the announcement is the entry of Akshay Kumar into the Golmaal universe. In the reveal video, the actor appears in a bald look with a beard and black outfit, instantly grabbing attention.

Reports suggest that Akshay Kumar will play an important role in the film and share a comic rivalry with Ajay Devgn, adding a fresh dynamic to the story.

His entry marks the first time he has joined the hugely popular comedy franchise.

Sharman Joshi Returns as Original Laxman

Another exciting development is the return of Sharman Joshi, who played the character Laxman in the first Golmaal film but did not appear in later installments.

After nearly two decades, the actor is back in the franchise, bringing nostalgia for fans who loved the original film.

His comeback alongside the old team is expected to recreate the classic chemistry that made the first film a major success.
