Mumbai: The highly anticipated Golmaal 5 has been generating considerable buzz since its announcement, and the excitement has now intensified with the confirmation of Sharman Joshi’s return to Rohit Shetty’s beloved comedy franchise. The actor, who was part of the original film Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, is making his comeback to the series after nearly 20 years.
About Golmaal
The celebrated franchise launched in 2006 with Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, which starred Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, and Sharman Joshi, alongside Rimi Sen and Paresh Rawal. While Devgn continued to feature in all subsequent installments Golmaal Returns (2008), Golmaal 3 (2010), and Golmaal Again (2017) Joshi departed from the franchise following the first film.
Sharman Joshi to Return
According to a report by Mid-Day, Sharman Joshi is set to commence shooting for Golmaal 5 later this month, with the film scheduled to go on floors by the end of February. “I’m likely to start working on it soon,” the actor told the publication.
Joshi also addressed the reason behind his exit from the franchise after the inaugural film. While speculation suggested that his absence from the Golmaal sequels stemmed from fee disputes, the actor has consistently clarified in interviews that it resulted from a significant miscommunication between his team and the filmmakers, which he only discovered much later. “I missed Rohit’s energy on sets, Ajay sir’s intensity and calmness. I missed Tusshar too. Rohit’s entire team is warm and inclusive,” Joshi shared.
Golmaal 5
The film reportedly sees the return of Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kunal Kemmu, and Shreyas Talpade alongside Joshi.
Expressing his enthusiasm about reuniting with his co-stars, Joshi said he is looking forward to collaborating with Kunal Kemmu after nearly 19 years, since their last film together, Dhol (2007). He is also eager to work with Shreyas Talpade. “I had seen Shreyas’s work during intercollegiate competitions as our colleges were next to each other. I’ve been his fan since Iqbal (2005),” he said.
Speculation also hints that Akshay Kumar may join the film as the main antagonist. However, there has been no official confirmation yet. Golmaal 5 is expected to release in theatres in 2027.
