Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty
It appears that after starting a supercop universe, Rohit Shetty is working on a comedy universe next. The filmmaker gave an inkling about his plans during the trailer launch of his upcoming Christmas offering, Cirkus, with Ranveer Singh in a double role. The trailer of Rohit's adaptation of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors ends with the kiddie Golmaal group reaching the gates of Jamnadas Orphanage, where they grow up. The filmmaker revealed that Ranveer will join the Golmaal gang in the fifth instalment. Incidentally, Golmaal 5 was announced in 2019 and was slated to go on floors the following year. However, the Coronavirus outbreak thwarted all the plans. Going by the new developments, it looks like the pandemic gave Rohit ample time to work on the new instalment of his comedy franchise and consequently pave the way for Ranveer to enter that universe too.

While Rohit Shetty works on bringing Ranveer Singh into his Golmaal universe, the filmmaker is set to make the third Singham film with Ajay Devgn. Reportedly titled Singham Again, the action drama is slated to begin in April 2023, after Ajay is through with Bholaa, which releases on March 30. Whether Ranveer Singh's Bhalero Sangram Simmba and Akshay Kumar's Veer Sooryavanshi join Ajay's Bajirao Singham in the climax, remains to be seen. If only Rohit would come up with better titles for his sequels than Golmaal Returns, Golmaal Again, Singham Returns, Singham Again. No?
Bhumi Pednekar is thrilled that her upcoming film Govinda Naam Mera gave her the opportunity deliver punchlines. She enthuses, "What I love the most about my dialoguebaazi in this movie is that they are from the heroine's side. That is refreshing because, traditionally, only heroes get the best dialogues in a romantic comedy like this one, and make people laugh." Talking about her character, Gauri, in Shashank Khaitan's directorial venture that also stars Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani, Bhumi says, "She is an equal to a man and constantly reminds him that her gender doesn't make her inferior. Moreover, she is the master of her own actions and decisions."
