National Award-winner Priyamani, fresh off a string of acclaimed roles, is reportedly stepping into new territory with Golmaal 5. As per industry grapevine, she’s set to portray a negative character in Rohit Shetty’s upcoming comic-action spectacle. This marks her second collaboration with Shetty after her memorable special number in Chennai Express, and the buzz suggests her role will pack a punch.
Meanwhile, the Golmaal franchise is raising the stakes for its fifth outing. Ajay Devgn reprises his iconic lead, while Akshay Kumar is confirmed to enter the fray as the main antagonist—a casting coup that’s turning plenty of heads. The core gang—Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu, and Sharman Joshi—are all back, promising their trademark comic chaos.
Adding to the ensemble are Johny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, and Ashwini Kalsekar, making this one of the most star-studded entries yet. With production underway and a 2027 release on the cards, fans are curious to see how Priyamani and Akshay shake up the familiar Golmaal dynamic. More updates are sure to follow as the shoot progresses.
