Golmaal 5 Cast: Kareena Kapoor & Sara Ali Khan in One Film? Rohit Shetty Drops a Major Hint; Kunal Khemu Returns in a New Role

Mumbai: Fans of Rohit Shetty’s blockbuster comedy franchise Golmaal have reason to celebrate. A major update on Golmaal 5 has sparked excitement across social media, especially after reports suggested that Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sara Ali Khan may come together in the film for the first time. Adding to the buzz, Kunal Khemu—an integral part of earlier installments—is now involved in a creative consulting role.

The frenzy began when Rohit Shetty “liked” an Instagram post that claimed he had approached both Kareena and Sara for the upcoming sequel. The gesture was enough to send fans into a speculation spiral.

Rohit Shetty’s Instagram Activity Fuels Speculation

The Instagram post stated:
“Director Rohit Shetty is gearing up for the next chapter of his blockbuster comedy franchise Golmaal 5. Buzz in the industry suggests that he has approached Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sara Ali Khan for the project, and early conversations are underway.”

Sources close to the production also revealed that Shetty enjoys working with Sara and is excited about bringing Kareena back into the franchise. If both actors sign on, Golmaal 5 could mark one of the most interesting pairings seen in recent Bollywood comedies.

Fresh Writers, New Energy & Kunal Khemu as Creative Consultant

Reports claim Shetty is collaborating with a team of young writers to infuse fresh energy into the franchise. Interestingly, Kunal Khemu, who has been part of previous Golmaal films, will now contribute behind the scenes as a creative advisor.

With a mix of established stars and fresh creative input, Golmaal 5 is projected to be one of the biggest films from the Shetty camp.

Kareena Kapoor–Ajay Devgn Chemistry Returns?

Kareena Kapoor has been part of the franchise before, starring alongside Ajay Devgn in Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010). Their pairing has been a hit with audiences, and earlier media reports confirmed that the team is aiming to recapture that charm.

According to a previous Mid-Day report, the shoot is planned to begin in Goa by December and wrap up by March 2026. The final cast list is expected to be locked by the end of the year.

Sara Ali Khan Likely to Join the Ensemble

Sara Ali Khan, who earlier worked with Rohit Shetty in Simmba, is reportedly in talks as well. If she and Kareena join the project, it could bring the Kapoor–Pataudi family together on-screen in a way audiences have never seen before.

With Sara, Kareena, Ajay Devgn, and now Kunal Khemu in a new creative role, Golmaal 5 promises to be a star-studded entertainer.

Shoot to Begin in 2026

While the official announcement is still awaited, industry insiders confirm that filming for Golmaal 5 is expected to begin in 2026.

Fans are eagerly waiting for Rohit Shetty to make the cast list official—and to see whether both Kareena and Sara will finally share screen space in the much-loved comedy universe.
