On Saturday, Rohit shared a video from the sets, featuring the original cast, Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu, and Tusshar Kapoor. Later in the video, Ajay hints at a surprise, after which Sharman Joshi, who played Laxman Prasad Sharma in the first film, rejoins the cast.

'Sometimes Disappointed You...'
Sharing the video, Rohit wrote, "20 years ago, the first Golmaal was released, a film that changed my life. The credit goes to you, my audience. Over the past 20 years, we have entertained you, and yes, sometimes disappointed you, but we have always been honest in our work. So now, once again, my fabulous team and I are set on a journey to entertain you as we start filming G5. You have always loved and supported me. All we need is your blessings. See you at the movies."
Akshay, who also shared the video of him joining the cast, wrote, "Happy Birthday @itsrohitshetty. On your birthday, the madness just got bigger and louder. Excited to be joining this crazy family of Golmaal 5! Let the chaos begin!"
No actresses appeared in the video, and it remains unclear whether any female cast members will be part of the film.
