When the Golmaal franchise starts rumbling back to life, casting whispers travel fast. This time, it is Arshad Warsi who has added fresh fuel to the fire with a clear hint that he is set to reunite with Akshay Kumar, just as chatter around Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 5 continues to build.
In a candid conversation, Warsi spoke warmly about Kumar and revealed they are teaming up again, a line that has instantly set industry watchers connecting the dots to Shetty’s next comedy.
Arshad Warsi Hints At A New Film With Akshay Kumar
Asked about the ongoing talk around Akshay Kumar joining Golmaal 5, Warsi shared that he is set to work with the actor again after Welcome to the Jungle. “We are doing another film together. Abhi kaam shuru hoga. Badi mazeydaar film hai. Let’s see. It will be announced now,” Warsi said.
The timing of that statement matters. Warsi has also expressed excitement about beginning work on Golmaal 5 next, which makes his “another film” comment feel like a strong hint, even if the makers have not officially confirmed Kumar’s casting yet.
Recent reports have claimed that Kumar is being lined up to play a key role in Golmaal 5 alongside Ajay Devgn. The film is expected to bring back several familiar faces from the franchise, including Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade and Kunal Kemmu, with comic regulars like Johnny Lever and Sanjay Mishra also expected to feature.
Where Golmaal 5 Stands Right Now
While the team has stayed tight-lipped on formal announcements, multiple reports indicate Golmaal 5 is being mounted as a big-scale entertainer and is expected to go on floors in Mumbai, with Rohit Shetty returning to his signature brand of chaos-comedy after action-heavy outings.
If Kumar does come on board, it would mark a major franchise crossover moment, considering his long association with big mainstream comedies.
Arshad Warsi’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Warsi’s most high-profile recent OTT outing has been the psychological crime thriller Asur 2, where he returned as Dhananjay Rajpoot (DJ). On the film side, he has continued to balance ensemble entertainers and character-driven parts.
In the immediate pipeline, Warsi is confirmed to be part of Welcome to the Jungle, which also stars Akshay Kumar. He has also indicated that his next shoot is expected to begin soon for the “very fun” film he referenced, which is widely being linked to Golmaal 5 given his comments about starting the franchise’s fifth installment next.
With Golmaal 5 picking up pace and Warsi openly teasing his next collaboration with Kumar, the comedian-actor seems poised for another busy stretch in mainstream Hindi cinema.
