Overview
- The production company Rohit Shetty Picturez issued a statement calling December 4 release reports “false and baseless” and said any date will be shared only through official channels.
- Industry outlets had published reports saying Ajay Devgn moved Golmaal 5 into a December slot that would replace his film Ranger and collide with Prabhas’s Fauzi and an untitled Akshay Kumar film.
- The Variety-based reshuffle reported by multiple trades also claimed Ranger was pushed to 2027, but the makers’ denial means that swap is not confirmed by the Golmaal 5 team.
- Golmaal is a long-running, high-earning franchise, which is why trades treated a December move as consequential and why dubbed Telugu releases like Fauzi target the same festive window.
- Watch for formal announcements from the production houses because official release dates will determine whether a major December box-office clash happens and how distributors plan screens and promotions.
