The wait is officially over – and it’s bigger, louder, and balder than ever! Akshay Kumar has finally confirmed his entry into Golmaal 5 with a bang, dropping a hilarious behind-the-scenes announcement video that has sent fans into a complete frenzy.
In the viral clip shared across social media by Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay himself, the core gang – Ajay Devgn (Gopal), Arshad Warsi (Lucky), Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade (Shyam), and Kunal Khemu (Vasooli Bhai) are gathered, reminiscing about the franchise’s epic 20-year journey that began with the original Golmaal: Fun Unlimited in 2006.
They joyfully welcome back Sharman Joshi as the original “Laxman” (after his long absence since the first film), with Sharman delivering his classic fast-talking line: “Beta subha ka bhoola agar shaam ko laut aaye toh usse bhoola nahi…” before the gang playfully drags him away.
But the real jaw-dropper comes next: Akshay Kumar bursts onto the set in a striking bald look, dressed in an all-black kurta-pajama ensemble with a lungi and dark sunglasses – channeling major “Bala” energy from Housefull 4 but with a ruthless, villainous twist.
Ajay Devgn hilariously quips, “Koi franchise nahi chhodta hai yeh!” (This guy doesn’t leave any franchise alone!), leading to multiple over-the-top hugs between the two in classic Tom & Jerry rival style. The instant chemistry is pure chaos – and pure gold!
Reports indicate Akshay is portraying the lead antagonist (villain) this time, setting up an epic comedic rivalry and clash with Ajay’s Gopal character. This bold new direction blends high-stakes action-comedy with the signature Golmaal slapstick, misunderstandings, family drama, and laugh-out-loud moments that have defined the series for two decades.
Early buzz suggests the plot revolves around a chaotic treasure hunt packed with hilarious twists, hidden clues, mistaken identities, double-crosses, and the gang’s trademark antics – now supercharged with Akshay’s antagonistic edge and Sharman’s nostalgic return. Rumors are also swirling about potential appearances or cameos from other familiar faces like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Priyamani, or Triptii Dimri to crank up the star power even further.
Filming has kicked off, and the team is aiming for a grand theatrical release in 2027 – perfectly timed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the beloved Golmaal franchise. Social media is exploding with fan reactions.
Akshay Kumar himself posted the video with the caption “Excited to be joining this crazy family of Golmaal 5! Let the chaos begin! “
From the heartwarming polio victory celebrations to this non-stop Bollywood entertainment bomb, today is delivering one epic highlight after another! The Golmaal gang – now supercharged with Akshay’s explosive entry, Sharman’s comeback, and Rohit Shetty’s signature high-octane direction – is all set to deliver double the chaos, triple the laughs, and quadruple the blockbuster vibes in 2027. Get ready, India – the madness is officially reloaded!
