Rohit Shetty has officially hit the start button on Golmaal 5, and he did it in the most franchise-appropriate way possible, with the original gang back together, a cheeky behind-the-scenes video, and a surprise casting addition that instantly set social media buzzing. On March 14, 2026, the filmmaker shared a glimpse from the sets as filming began, turning the milestone into a celebration of two decades of Golmaal madness.
The clip, shot on set, is equal parts nostalgia and fresh mischief, and it confirms a major update that fans have been waiting to hear straight from the source.
Latest Update: Akshay Kumar Officially Joins Golmaal 5 As Cameras Roll
In the video shared by Shetty, the familiar faces of Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu, and Tusshar Kapoor are seen assembling, with Devgn teasing a “surprise” addition. Sharman Joshi then appears, marking his return to the franchise, but the real reveal lands moments later when Akshay Kumar makes a flamboyant entry, sporting a striking bald look.
One of the clip’s most talked-about beats is a playful moment between the two stars, with Akshay planting a quick kiss on Ajay’s cheek as Shetty laughs along, leaning fully into the chaos the Golmaal films are known for.
Marking the occasion, Shetty wrote, “20 years ago, the first Golmaal was released, a film that changed my life. The credit goes to you, my audience. Over the past 20 years, we have entertained you, and yes, sometimes disappointed you, but we have always been honest in our work. So now, once again, my fabulous team and I are set on a journey to entertain you as we start filming G5. You have always loved and supported me. All we need is your blessings. See you at the movies.”
Akshay also posted about joining the film, writing, “Happy Birthday @itsrohitshetty. On your birthday, the madness just got bigger and louder. Excited to be joining this crazy family of Golmaal 5! Let the chaos begin!”
Notably, no actresses appear in the set video shared on March 14, and the post itself does not confirm any female cast members.
