Yesterday, reports came in that Akshay Kumar has made an entry into the successful Golmaal franchise. And that’s not all. As per reports, the star has been signed for the role of the villain in Golmaal 5, fronted by Ajay Devgn. Now another prominent actor, also a recurring face of the franchise, has come on board – Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Kareena Kapoor Joins India’s Biggest Comedy Franchise
As per reports in Bollywood Hungama, “Kareena Kapoor Khan’s casting took time as there were dates and other issues that needed to be considered. Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn were very keen to sign the actress. Even Kareena expressed the desire to return to the Golmaal franchise. She got a lot of love for her antics and comic timing in Golmaal 3 (2010); it continues to be remembered even today, despite the film being released more than 15 years ago. Rohit and his team have written another quirky and entertaining role for Kareena and hence, they tried their best to get her on board. Thankfully, it has finally happened.”
A trade expert commented, “Golmaal 5 had already created excitement since all the earlier four parts were very successful at the box office. Now with Akshay Kumar’s entry and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s return, the series has got a boost. Only Rohit Shetty could have pulled it off thanks to his goodwill, professionalism and envious box office track record.”
Interestingly, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan have never worked together in a film, and this makes Golmaal 5 all the more special.
