Akshay Kumar’s villain role and franchise expansion<\/p>\n

Akshay Kumar\u2019s reported role as the antagonist marks a shift for the series. Known for comedy-driven hits like \u2018Hera Pheri\u2019, \u2018Housefull\u2019, and \u2018Welcome\u2019, he is expected to play a darker character with a stronger villain arc. This also aligns with his negative role in Priyadarshan\u2019s \u2018Haiwaan\u2019, in which he starred opposite Saif Ali Khan. A trade expert told Bollywood Hungama, \u201cGolmaal 5 had already created excitement since all the earlier four parts were very successful at the box office. Now with Akshay Kumar\u2019s entry and Kareena Kapoor Khan\u2019s return, the series has got a boost.\u201dAjay Devgn will once again lead the ensemble. Regulars Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, and Kunal Kemmu are expected to return, along with Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, and Ashwini Kalsekar. Production is scheduled to begin by the end of February 2026 at Film City in Mumbai, with a target release in early 2027.24yInterestingly, while Ajay Devgn has worked extensively with both Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan, the trio has never shared screen space together. That first-time combination makes \u2018Golmaal 5\u2019 especially notable as the franchise approaches its 20-year milestone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exciting developments are on the horizon for the beloved ‘Golmaal’ franchise as Akshay Kumar steps into the role…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271801,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[12413,15530,1558,458,146,141174,92103,85,46,23939,23942,141281],"class_list":{"0":"post-271800","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ajay-devgn","9":"tag-akshay-kumar","10":"tag-bollywood","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-golmaal-5","14":"tag-hindi-films","15":"tag-il","16":"tag-israel","17":"tag-kareena-kapoor-khan","18":"tag-rohit-shetty","19":"tag-villain-role"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271800\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
