In a major announcement for Bollywood comedy fans, renowned director Rohit Shetty is set to reunite with superstar Ajay Devgn for their 14th collaboration: Golmaal Five, slated to release in 2026. This comes on the heels of Shetty completing a high-profile Rakesh Maria biopic, starring John Abraham, marking a significant creative pivot for the filmmaker before revisiting his beloved fun-filled franchise.
A Dynamic Duo Returns
Shetty and Devgn are one of the most enduring director–actor partnerships in Bollywood history, spanning successful hits like Singham, Bol Bachchan, Sunday, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. Now, they’re reuniting for the fifth installment of the Golmaal comedies—known for their ensemble casts, slapstick humor, and ridiculous fun.
From Crime Thriller to Comic Mayhem
Before diving into laughter again, Shetty wrapped up production on his biopic about former Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria, with John Abraham in the lead. This pivot from intense crime drama to light-hearted comedy demonstrates Shetty’s versatility and box-office range .
What to Expect from Golmaal Five
- Ensemble madness: Expect Devgn reunited with stars like Kunal Khemu, Tushaar Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon, echoing the manic energy of previous films.
- Classic Shetty style: Heroic stunts, larger-than-life storytelling, and rapid-fire one-liners are sure to make a comeback.
- Summer 2026 release: Fans can anticipate laughter-filled promos, song drops, and first looks later this year.
Given that Golmaal has consistently delivered hit entertainment, this fifth chapter is poised to continue the franchise’s legacy.
