Gang’s All Here: Golmaal 5 Locks Its Release Date, and It’s Bringing a Big New Face

Nearly two decades of laughter, chaos, and Rohit Shetty’s signature madness are getting one more chapter — and this time, the gang is bigger.

The Golmaal franchise has officially confirmed its next installment, Golmaal 5, will hit theaters on January 8, 2027, with Ajay Devgn returning to lead a familiar crew joined by a brand-new heavyweight: Akshay Kumar.

Golmaal 5 : Announcement

Director Rohit Shetty shared the release date on social media with a caption capturing the franchise’s core spirit: laughter, fun, joy, happiness, and family — nothing else. Ajay Devgn reprises his beloved role as Gopal, joined once again by Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu, and Shreyas Talpade. Sharman Joshi also returns to the franchise, marking his first appearance since the original 2006 film.

The biggest headline, though, is Akshay Kumar officially joining the ensemble as a new face in the gang, with reports suggesting Priyamani may take on a key antagonist role.

Golmaal Franchise Overview

Why This Matters?

The Golmaal series has long been one of Bollywood’s most reliable comedy franchises, blending slapstick humor with an ensemble cast fans return to film after film. Adding a star like Akshay Kumar — one of Indian cinema’s most prolific and commercially successful actors — signals an ambitious scale-up for the fifth installment, likely aiming for a big holiday-season box office push.

Meanwhile, both lead actors have packed calendars: Ajay Devgn is gearing up for “Drishyam 3: The Conclusion” on October 2, 2026, while Akshay Kumar recently starred in the action thriller “Haiwaan.”
