Overview
- Rohit Shetty announced the release date with a motion poster on Saturday, September 19, 2026, confirming Golmaal 5 will open in theatres on January 8, 2027.
- The film reunites the core Golmaal ensemble — Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Kunal Kemmu, Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade — and confirms Sharman Joshi’s return to the franchise.
- Major additions reported to the cast include Akshay Kumar, who media outlets say may play an antagonist, and Priyamani, who has been reported to play a negative role.
- Production is largely complete with dialogue portions wrapped by August and a few song sequences still to be filmed, and the film is produced by Rohit Shetty Picturez in association with T-Series.
- Trade coverage notes the January 8 date was chosen for box‑office positioning after December releases and to benefit from Gujarat’s Makar Sankranti holiday, but the date creates a possible clash with Prasanth Varma’s Mahakali which is also set for January 8.
