Rohit Shetty issues CLARIFICATION on reports of Golmaal 5 being inspired by 'Do Aur Do Panch': Misleading &..'

Rohit Shetty’s production house has issued a firm clarification amid rising speculation surrounding his much anticipated upcoming film Golmaal 5. Over the past few days, several online and digital media reports claimed that the film is inspired by or based on the classic Bollywood movie Do Aur Do Paanch. These claims quickly gained traction across social media, leading to widespread discussions among fans of the franchise and industry observers. Given the popularity of the Golmaal series and the expectations attached to its fifth installment, the rumours prompted the makers to step in and address the issue officially.

In response to the circulating reports, the production house released a formal statement putting an end to the speculation. The statement read,
'We wish to issue a strict clarification regarding certain news reports currently circulating across online and digital media platforms claiming that Golmaal 5 is inspired by or based on the film Do Aur Do Paanch. We categorically state that these reports are factually incorrect, misleading and completely untrue. We strongly request all media houses, publications, portals, and digital platforms to refrain from publishing or circulating unverified information.'

The statement further added,
'Any news, update or clarification pertaining to Rohit Shetty or Golmaal 5 must be verified with us or the official PR representatives, Universal Communications, prior to publication, failing which strict legal action will be taken. We expect your cooperation in maintaining journalistic accuracy and responsibility. We also request that incorrect reports currently in circulation be corrected or taken down at the earliest. Team RSP.'

The strong wording of the clarification reflects the makers’ intent to safeguard the creative integrity of the film and prevent misinformation from spreading further. Known for his distinct style of slapstick comedy, ensemble casts and high energy storytelling, Rohit Shetty has built the Golmaal franchise on original narratives and recurring characters that have resonated with audiences over the years. Any suggestion of the film being adapted or inspired by another work was therefore swiftly denied.

While the makers have not yet revealed plot details of Golmaal 5, the clarification makes it clear that the film will remain true to the spirit of the franchise. Fans now await official updates from the team as anticipation continues to build around the next chapter of the popular comedy series.
