In addition, director Rohit Shetty also shared the same video montage, expressing that the cast and crew have been enjoying positive energy since the franchise's inception in 2006.

He wrote, "Riding through positive vibes since 20 years Golmaal 5 | Ooty Schedule."

The original Golmaal film featured Ajay, Tusshar, Arshad, and Sharman, along with Rimi Sen and Paresh Rawal. It is said to be inspired by Harsh Shivsharan's Marathi play Ghar Ghar, which also influenced Vora's Gujarati play Aflatoon, a source of inspiration for the film.

Following the first film, four sequels were produced, including Golmaal Returns in 2008, Golmaal 3 in 2010, and Golmaal Again in 2017.

All installments featured Ajay, Arshad, Tusshar, Sanjay Mishra, Vrajesh Hirjee, and Mukesh Tiwari, with Shreyas Talpade appearing in three films, while Kunal Khemu and Johnny Lever appeared in two.

Notably, actor Akshay Kumar will join the cast for the fifth installment. In the announcement video, he sported a striking look. Ajay humorously commented, "Koi franchise nahi chhodta hai ye (He does not leave any franchise)."

Wishing Rohit a happy birthday, Akshay stated: "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 (sic)."
