The Golmaal gang is back together with Golmaal 5, and the madness has officially begun in the hills of Ooty. Ajay Devgn dropped a fun behind-the-scenes video on April 27, 2026, giving fans their first real look at the fifth installment of the popular comedy franchise. The video shows the actor with his co-stars, and his caption promises a bigger and funnier ride this time.
The update has spread quickly on social media, with fans excited to see the return of the iconic bike and the original team’s chemistry.
Ajay Devgn Shares Fun Clip from the Ooty Schedule
Ajay Devgn took to social media to share a lively video montage from the current shoot of Golmaal 5. The clip features the core cast in a relaxed moment, posing on the franchise’s famous five-seater bike against the beautiful green hills of Ooty.
Along with the video, Ajay Devgn wrote, “Iss baar sawaari badi hai, aur entertainment usse bhi zyada bada hoga #Golmaal5 Ooty schedule with the boys”. The line translates to “This time the ride is bigger, and the entertainment will be even bigger.” This simple statement has told fans to expect a larger scale and more chaos in the upcoming movie.
The video also marks the return of the oversized bike, a vehicle that has become a beloved symbol of the Golmaal series over the last two decades.
Director Rohit Shetty Talks About 20 Years of Positive Vibes
Director Rohit Shetty shared the same video and talked about the long journey of the franchise. He noted the special energy that has stayed with the team since the first film released in 2006.
“Riding through positive vibes since 20 years Golmaal 5 | Ooty Schedule,” Rohit Shetty wrote in his post.
His words point to the strong bond between the actors, who have worked together on multiple films over nearly two decades. The Golmaal series began with Golmaal: Fun Unlimited in 2006 and grew with sequels like Golmaal Returns (2008), Golmaal 3 (2010), and Golmaal Again (2017).
The Full Cast Reunites in Ooty for the Shoot
The Ooty schedule has brought together almost all the main actors from the franchise. The video features Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu, and Sharman Joshi.
The return of Sharman Joshi is a special moment for long-time fans. He was part of the very first Golmaal film in 2006 but did not appear in the later sequels. Seeing him back with the group has created a wave of nostalgia online.
Arshad Warsi also shared his excitement on social media, writing, “Ooty schedule wrap with the Boys/Men !! Golmaal 5!!!!!”. The actors were seen laughing and sitting together on the bike, showing the same easy chemistry that has always been a big part of the franchise’s success.
Akshay Kumar Joins the Chaos in a New Role
While the old team is back, there is also a new face joining the madness. Akshay Kumar will be part of Golmaal 5. Reports suggest he may play the antagonist, adding a new twist to the story.
When his involvement was announced earlier, Ajay Devgn joked about his co-star, saying, “Koi franchise nahi chhodta hai ye” (He doesn’t leave any franchise). This friendly joke refers to Akshay Kumar being part of many big film series.
Akshay Kumar had also shared his excitement when the project was first announced, calling the Golmaal team a “crazy family”. It is not yet clear what exact role he will play, but his addition has raised interest in the film.
What ‘Iss Baar Sawaari Badi Hai’ Means for the Film
Ajay Devgn’s caption, “Iss baar sawaari badi hai,” is more than just a catchy line. It suggests that the fifth film will have a wider scope while keeping the same silly humour that fans love.
The Golmaal movies are known for their slapstick comedy, confusion-driven plots, and ensemble casts. The franchise has kept a loyal audience over the years because of its simple, funny, and sometimes over-the-top style.
With a bigger cast that now includes Akshay Kumar, and shooting locations like Ooty that allow for large-scale scenes, the team seems ready to deliver a film that is louder and full of more action.
Fans Go Crazy Over the Bike and the Team’s Return
The response online to the video has been very positive. Fans filled the comments section with excitement, especially after seeing the return of the oversized bike and the original team together.
Many social media users noted that seeing Sharman Joshi back with Ajay Devgn and Arshad Warsi brings back memories of the first movie. The video has already gathered millions of views within hours of being posted, showing the strong pull the franchise still has.
