Filmmaker Rohit Shetty is celebrating his 52nd birthday today, March 14. The filmmaker surprised his fans by sharing a fun-filled video from the sets of Golmaal 5 and also confirmed that Akshay Kumar has joined the cast.
On his birthday, Rohit assured fans of a crazier and noisier ride, as the Golmaal franchise is back with five times the laughter, fun, and witty punches. And who can forget the OG title track?
'Sometimes Disappointed You...'Rohit Shetty pens emotional note
Rohit Shetty shared a reel from the sets featuring the original cast – Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu, and Tusshar Kapoor. Later in the video, Ajay hints at a surprise and brings Sharman Joshi into the frame, who played Laxman Prasad Sharma in the first film and rejoins the cast. However, Ajay clarifies that this isn't the actual surprise. The real surprise comes when Akshay Kumar makes a smashing entry, flaunting a bald look.
Teasing him, Ajay jokingly remarked, "Koi franchise nahi chhodta hai ye (He does not leave any franchise)."
If reports are to be believed, Akshay will be seen as the antagonist in Golmaal 5. No actresses appeared in the video, and it remains unclear whether any female cast members will be part of the film.
Wishing Rohit on his birthday, Akshay expressed his excitement to become part of the crazy family in a recent Instagram post: "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."
#AkshayKumar entering Golmaal is a jackpot and if it works it's going to be fun in cinemas.
