Rohit Shetty has announced Golmaal 5 will release in theatres on January 8, 2027. The film brings back Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu, Shreyas Talpade, Sharman Joshi and introduces Akshay Kumar to the franchise for the first time. Sharman Joshi returns after nearly two decades, last appearing in the 2006 original Golmaal: Fun Unlimited.
Filming has wrapped and post-production is underway. The announcement was made on social media on Saturday with a poster. Odishatv.in reports the film was shot in Ooty from April 2026 and two songs remain pending. m9.news reports that the release date pits Golmaal 5 against Mahakali on the same day and comes two weeks after Shah Rukh Khan's King, sparking speculation about box office competition.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Neutral outlets ndtvprofit and Odishatv.in treated the announcement as a routine production story. m9.news instead led with a manufactured rivalry with Shah Rukh Khan's King, citing unfounded fan allegations of a deliberate clash and even comparing it to Simmba versus Zero in 2018, without a single quote from a trade analyst or studio source. The same article also flagged competition from Mahakali on the same date but offered no box-office projections. Readers should treat the supposed clash as speculation until any studio confirms a date change.
