Akshay Kumar is stepping into the chaos of the Golmaal universe, and this time, it is not for a blink-and-miss cameo. The actor has carved out a focused 18-day shooting window for Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 5, setting up what promises to be a high-voltage comic rivalry with Ajay Devgn at the centre of the franchise’s next big laugh riot.
