Ajay Devgn is currently filming for Rohit Shetty’s directorial Golmaal 5. The beloved franchise is known for its slapstick humour and has seen several actors be a part of it over the years. Akshay Kumar will be joining the fifth instalment as the antagonist. However, there is one big change in this part, there will be no romantic plot in the film, unlike previous instalments. Even though Priyamani has been roped in, she will be seen in a non-romantic role.

Rohit Shetty says no to romance

According to a report in Variety India, Rohit Shetty is attempting to break the franchise tradition of including a romantic subplot. In the first Golmaal (2006), Rimi Sen played the romantic interest for the leads until Tusshar Kapoor’s character ended up with her. In Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010), Kareena Kapoor Khan played the female lead. While she was married to Ajay Devgn’s character in part 2, part 3 hinted at romantic feelings. The third instalment also focused on the romance between Ratna Pathak Shah and Mithun Chakraborty’s characters. The last instalment, Golmaal Again (2017), featured Parineeti Chopra as the female lead.
