Director Rohit Shetty is reuniting with his favourite actor and close friend Ajay Devgn for Golmaal. 5. According to new reports, the director-actor duo has started shooting for the next installment of their hit comedy movie in Mumbai.

Reports further suggest that Family Man actress Priyamani is also joining the cast. It is the first time Priyamani will be working with Ajay Devgn. Priyamani had earlier done an item number in Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express.

Rohit Shetty had stalled the shoots for a while after the firing incident earlier this month but the director was keen to return to work.

According to Variety India, Ajay Devgn will join the cast on Wednesday (February 25).

Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu, and Shreyas Talpade are going to return to the franchise. But there are also reports that Sharman Joshi, who was a part of the first Golmaal, will also return to the franchise.

Sharman is returning after 20 years, as he was a part of the original film 'Golmaal: Fun Unlimited.'

There are also reports that Akshay Kumar might join the team of Golmaal 5 as the negative lead but nothing is confirmed yet. Ajay and Akshay had worked in Singham Again.

Earlier, Rohit Shetty's team had also dismissed rumors that Golmaal 5 is a remake of Do Aur Do Paanch.

The official statement read, “We wish to issue a strict clarification regarding certain news reports currently circulating across online and digital media platforms claiming that Golmaal 5 is inspired by or based on the film Do Aur Do Paanch. We categorically state that these reports are factually incorrect, misleading, and completely untrue. We strongly request all media houses, publications, portals, and digital platforms to refrain from publishing or circulating unverified information.”

“Any news, updates, or clarifications pertaining to Rohit Shetty or Golmaal 5 must be verified with us or the official PR representatives prior to publication, failing which strict legal action will be taken. We expect your cooperation in maintaining journalistic accuracy and responsibility. We also request that incorrect reports currently in circulation be corrected or taken down at the earliest.”

It will be exciting to see the entire cast of Golmaal 5, as it is a much-loved comedy franchise.
