The original film starred Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Joshi, and Tusshar Kapoor, and went on to become a major box-office success.
Over the years, the Golmaal franchise has evolved into one of Bollywood's most recognisable comedy brands, known for its slapstick humour and ensemble cast.
The newly released footage hints at a return to the franchise's roots, with the core cast, often referred to by fans as the "Golmaal gang", reuniting on screen.
The Ooty schedule also suggests that Shetty is continuing his signature style of staging large-scale, high-energy sequences in scenic outdoor locations.
The response online has been immediate and enthusiastic. Fans flooded the comments section with messages celebrating the reunion, with many calling it a revival of "childhood memories."
One fan wrote, "So good to see Sharman Joshi back in this franchise."
A second social media user wrote, "THE OG's ARE BACK."
"Can't explain my excitement," wrote a third user.
Golmaal 5 is produced by Rohit Shetty Picturez in association with T-Series. While the storyline remains under wraps, Shetty recently confirmed that Akshay Kumar will also play a key role in the upcoming film. (ANI)
