Akshay has been talking about his role in Golmaal 5, specifically saying Ajay Devgn is the star and he isn’t worried about it at all. He responded to the lots of conversation after the movie was announced by saying he’s doing it because he wants to, not as if it’s a contest.
Akshay on his role and the franchise dynamic
He said in a recent interview that he was happy to be asked to be in a big franchise like Golmaal, and it’s an honor. He’s also very clear that he isn’t the main hero.
He decides to do a project based on the storyline and what the movie intends to achieve. He will sign on if he likes the script, regardless of whether his name is first in the cast list. For Akshay, what the film is trying to say or do is more important than who gets the biggest title.
History of collaboration with Ajay Devgn
Akshay and Ajay have been in many movies together over the years, in all sorts of different kinds of films. Their getting together again for a comedy feels like something that makes sense, not something that’s being done just to get attention.
Their history together is why they can easily joke with each other publicly. When Ajay said he never leaves a film series, Akshay joked back, showing they both respect each other professionally and are ready to bounce off each other’s energy in front of the camera.
Why Akshay prioritizes scripts over ego
Akshay says he doesn’t often think about “what am I doing in this film?” Instead, he thinks about what the film is trying to do. He’s glad to be a part of Golmaal and happy the filmmakers thought he would be right for the role.
He also says that the movie industry is changing and he’s seeing lots of new and interesting scripts. Akshay chooses from a number of roles and lets others go to other actors. This careful way of choosing isn’t about his status.
Golmaal 5 casting and director ambitions
The Golmaal series is coming back with a huge number of stars, and it’s going to be a very big, very funny movie directed by Rohit Shetty. People within the industry describe it as very ambitious and the short video announcing the film got people even more excited about the actors and how they’ll look.
Along with Ajay and Akshay, the people we’re used to seeing in Golmaal are expected to be back, and will once again be the source of the comedy. Some of the actors from earlier in the series are returning, but one famous actress will not be in this movie.
Akshay’s next release and timeline
Before Golmaal 5 is released, Akshay will be in Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan. Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, and Rajpal Yadav are also in it, which means it will have a strong, funny group of actors and will show off Akshay’s skill at comedy and how much he can do.
Bhooth Bangla will be out on April t10th, 2026. This movie will be a fairly soon opportunity to see Akshay being funny, and will probably give people an idea of what to expect from his part in the bigger Golmaal world.
What Akshay Kumar says publicly shows he’s an experienced actor who sees working with others as a chance to be creative. He likes being in popular series and doesn’t mind if other actors are the main characters if the story needs that. When Golmaal 5 gets to the theaters, people can look forward to the actors having a good rapport, lots of laughs, and being entertained.
