The Golmaal franchise has been entertaining audiences since 2006. After it became a huge success, both Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn teamed up for the movie’s sequel in 2008, which was followed by Golmaal 3 in 2010. This was the first Hindi film franchise to complete a trilogy. After that, the makers took a seven-year break and returned with the fourth instalment Golmaal Again in 2017.
Now, according to a report by Mumbai Mirror, Rohit and Ajay have already started working on Golmaal Five, which will be produced by Rohit and Shibashish Sarkar.
A source close to the development said that while the last outing was a horror-comedy, the makers have come up with an interesting concept for the next one. “Both the actors and the makers were brainstorming about the subject since the beginning of the year. Now they have finally locked the script,” the source added. Golmaal Five is supposed to go on floors next year. It will also become the first Bollywood franchise to have a run of five films.
Ajay Devgn is very excited about the project. “Golmaal is my favourite series and Rohit and I are very committed to the next instalment. It’s going to be a lot of fun,” the actor told the publication.
Apart from the leading man, franchise regulars—Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu, Shreyas Talpade and Mukesh Tiwari - will reprise their roles of Madhav, Lucky, Laxman 1, Laxman 2 and Vasooli Bhai respectively. However, the female lead is yet to be signed.
