Filmmaker Rohit Shetty shared a clip online, sparking nostalgia among fans by recreating the iconic car race scene from the 2006 hit Golmaal in his upcoming film Golmaal 5. The scene features actors Arshad Warsi and Sharman Joshi seated in a race car and waving.
Arshad and Sharman`s car race scene
Rohit, Arshad and Sharman took to Instagram to share the scene from Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, which was released in 2006. The scene features Arshad, who plays Madhav and Sharman, in the role of Laxman, in a chaotic car race designed to win the heart of a girl named Nirali.
In the sequence, Sharman`s character is seen disguised as a woman, as he sits with Madhav in a race car, waving. The video then transitioned from their characters 20 years ago to the present day, as the two actors recreate the same iconic waving scene.
Rohit, in the caption, wrote, “Driving down the memory lane! How old were you when you watched the first Golmaal? We promise you`ll relive those happy days very soon… filming in progress.”
Arshad also shared the video and mentioned that 20 years since the first instalment came out, and nothing has changed. “20 years and nothing has changed. Golmaal will keep entertaining you…” he wrote. Actor Sharman also shared the scene and wrote, “Baap of all throwbacks.”
About the Golmaal franchise
The first instalment of the Golmaal film series, starring Ajay Devgn, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad and Sharman, along with Rimi Sen and Paresh Rawal, was released in 2006. It is reportedly based on Harsh Shivsharan`s Marathi play Ghar Ghar, which also inspired Vora`s Gujarati play Aflatoon.
The film franchise was followed by 4 sequels, namely Golmaal Returns, which was released in 2008, Golmaal 3 in 2010 and Golmaal Again, which hit the big screen in 2017.

The fifth instalment was announced by director Rohit Shetty in March this year. Golmaal 5 marks the reunion of the original gang, including Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, and Kunal Kemmu, along with the return of Sharman Joshi and the addition of Akshay Kumar. The film is currently shooting and is expected to release in 2027.
