Overview
- The makers of Golmaal 5 issued a statement on Thursday calling reports that the film will release on December 4, 2026 “false and baseless.”
- Multiple trade outlets had attributed a calendar reshuffle to Variety that said Ajay Devgn’s Ranger was moved to 2027 to free the December 4 date, though that claim remains unconfirmed by the production house.
- Golmaal 5 is in active production with original cast members returning and Akshay Kumar joining the ensemble, and some actors have told media their shooting schedules are largely complete.
- Rohit Shetty Picturez urged media and fans to rely only on official announcements for release details and warned against publishing unverified reports, saying legal steps could follow if needed.
- The dispute over the date highlights how tightly contested the December release window is in India and that a confirmed slot for Golmaal 5 could reshape the festive box-office calendar if announced.
