Akshay Kumar will be seen in the role of an antagonist in the upcoming film “Golmaal 5”. Ajay Devgn and director Rohit Shetty had announced the fifth installment during the lockdown. Though the movie took a backfoot due to Shetty's other commitments, “Indian Police Force”, “Singham Again” and “IPS Maria”. Finally, the movie will go on the floors.
It will be the sixth film of Akshay and Ajay together, after “Suhaag”, “Khakee”, “Insan”, “Sooryavanshi” and “Singham Again”.
The project will mark back-to-back negative characters for Akshay, as he is also playing a villain opposite Saif Ali Khan in Priyadarshan-directed “Haiwaan”. However, the tone and the antagonistic arcs in both the films is said to be poles apart.
