Rohit Shetty Announces Shoot With Fun Video

In the video shared by Rohit Shetty, viewers get a playful glimpse of the Golmaal gang reuniting on set. The clip features the franchise’s familiar faces including Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu, and Tusshar Kapoor alongside Ajay Devgn.

In the video, Arshad Warsi laughs and says, “Ajay 20 saal hogaye humko ye karte karte.”

Shreyas Talpade jokingly adds, “Ek aur banani chahiye.”

Ajay Devgn then turns toward Rohit Shetty, who is standing behind the camera, and asks, “Kya bolta hai Rohit? Kare kya?”

To which Rohit replies, “Chalo fir banate hai ek aur.”

The entire gang erupts in cheers. Ajay Devgn then hints at a twist, saying, “Magar iss baar surprise hai.”

Surprise Cameos Take Fans By Storm

Just as the excitement builds, Sharman Joshi, who was part of the original Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, suddenly walks into the frame.

Reacting in disbelief, Kunal Kemmu exclaims, “Abey tu?”

Sharman Joshi begins to say, “Subha ka bhoola shaam ko laut aaye toh usse kehte hai…” but Kunal interrupts him mid-sentence asking, “Aree par tu waapis kyu aaya?”

Tusshar Kapoor also questions him in his signature Golmaal style, and the gang humorously drags Sharman Joshi out of the frame. Ajay Devgn, still standing there, looks at them and says, “Aree lekin surprise toh…”

Moments later, the real surprise is revealed as Akshay Kumar enters the set in a striking bald look, dressed in a black kurta and sunglasses. Sitting beside Ajay Devgn, he plants a playful kiss on his cheek and shouts, “Music!”

The iconic Golmaal theme music then begins playing as the cast celebrates the start of the new film.

Ajay Devgn jokingly remarks, “Koi bhi franchise nahi chhodta hai.” Akshay Kumar then hugs Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn before posing with the rest of the Golmaal 5 team.

Rohit Shetty Responds To Rumours About The Film

As excitement surrounding the project grows, social media has been buzzing with speculation that Golmaal 5 might be inspired by the classic film Do Aur Do Paanch, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor.
