Rohit Shetty‘s Golmaal 5 is one of the most awaited films, and fresh reports reveal exciting details about what fans can expect. The film was subtly confirmed during the theatrical screening of Ajay Devgn‘s Son of Sardaar 2, marking the 14th reunion between Rohit and Ajay.
This time, the franchise is breaking new ground by introducing its first ever female villain. This marks a significant departure from the previous installments and promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the beloved comedy series.
Original Cast Returns For Golmaal 5
According to a report by PTI, Golmaal 5 will see the return of the original gang that fans have loved over the years. The film will star Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, and Kunal Kemmu.
Additionally, Sharman Joshi will join the cast again, rekindling a connection with the original film. This reunion is particularly special for fans who remember him from the first installment. The supporting actors such as Johnny Lever, Ashwini Kaleshkar, Mukesh Tiwari, and Sanjay Mishra are also expected to return, ensuring the franchise’s signature comedic energy remains intact.
Fantasy Comedy With Surreal Storytelling
The report indicated that the fifth installment will be a fantasy comedy. The franchise’s signature humor will now be mixed with elements of fictional or surreal storytelling. This can elevate the stakes beyond the prank driven situational comedy of previous entries.
This creative shift suggests that director Abhishek Pathak and Rohit Shetty are looking to bring something fresh while maintaining the essence of what made the franchise successful. The fantasy elements could allow for bigger set pieces and more imaginative comic situations.
First Female Villain In Golmaal Franchise
One of the biggest twists in Golmaal 5 is the plan to introduce the franchise’s first female villain. While casting talks are reportedly underway, the makers have decided to craft the story with a woman as the antagonist. This is a first for the series.
An insider shared, “This story was written in a manner that the negative character is played by a woman.” This creative decision shows the filmmakers’ willingness to experiment with the formula while keeping the core comedy intact. The female villain is expected to bring a different energy and dynamic to the conflicts in the film.
Paresh Rawal Joins Cast, Kareena In Talks
Mid Day earlier reported that Ajay Devgn will begin shooting for Golmaal 5 in March 2026. According to reports, Paresh Rawal has also joined the cast. This is exciting news as Rawal is known for his impeccable comic timing.
Talking about Kareena Kapoor Khan’s return to the Golmaal franchise, sources mentioned that she shares great chemistry with Ajay. Since she led Golmaal Returns and Golmaal 3, her presence brings a nostalgic charm. The cast will be finalized by December end. Kareena is reportedly in advanced talks for the film.
Shoot Begins In Goa In March 2026
A source close to the production revealed that director Abhishek Pathak wants to ensure that the storytelling is as taut as the first two parts. The team plans to begin shooting in Goa by December and wrap up by March 2026.
The Goa schedule makes sense as several previous Golmaal films have been shot in the coastal state, giving it an almost home like feeling for the franchise.
