The comedic juggernaut, Golmaal, is reportedly gearing up for its fifth installment, and casting rumors are swirling, promising a delightful mix of familiar faces and fresh additions. Golmaal 5 is slated to begin shooting in March 2026, with a potential release in 2027.

Ajay Devgn is set to reprise his role as Gopal, the leader of the pack. The core gang, including Arshad Warsi as Madhav, Tusshar Kapoor as Lucky, and Shreyas Talpade as Laxman, are also expected to return, ensuring the classic Golmaal camaraderie remains intact. Kunal Kemmu, who has been an integral part of the franchise, is also expected to reprise his role as Laxman.

Adding to the excitement, there are strong indications that Kareena Kapoor Khan is in advanced talks to return as the female lead. Kareena, who previously starred in Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010), is known for her on-screen chemistry with Ajay Devgn, making her potential return a nostalgic prospect for fans. Sources suggest that discussions are progressing positively, raising hopes for a reunion of one of Bollywood's most entertaining on-screen pairs under Rohit Shetty's direction.

Adding a new layer to the ensemble, Sara Ali Khan's name has also surfaced in connection with Golmaal 5. While not yet confirmed, there is speculation that she might join the cast, potentially adding a fresh dynamic to the already vibrant mix.

Regarding Kunal Kemmu, while details about his specific role in Golmaal 5 remain under wraps, it's safe to assume he will continue to bring his comedic talent to the franchise. In an interview in May 2024, when asked about Golmaal 5, Kunal stated he hadn't "heard anything about it officially". He has been an important part of the Golmaal series, and his comedic timing has been praised.

Rohit Shetty, the director of the Golmaal series, hinted about Golmaal 5 in Son of Sardaar 2. Shetty is expected to start work on Golmaal 5 after he completes his other projects.

The Golmaal series has been a successful comedy franchise in Indian cinema.
