Golmaal 5: Tusshar Kapoor Opens Up On Night Shoots With Akshay Kumar, Says 'Scenes Were A Riot' | Exclusive Reported By, Last Updated: July 13, 2026, 13:00 IST Tusshar Kapoor, who reprises his role of Lucky in Golmaal 5, reveals in a chat with News18 that night shoots with Akshay Kumar were gruelling but a riot. Tusshar Kapoor Reveals Golmaal 5 Sets With Akshay Kumar Were A Riot. Tusshar Kapoor has opened up about shooting Golmaal 5 alongside Akshay Kumar, revealing that the schedule with the new addition to the franchise was almost entirely night shoots. “The entire phase when we were shooting with Akshay sir was all night shoots," Tusshar said in an exclusive chat with News18, adding, “The scenes themselves were a riot and there were so many moments when I just couldn’t hold back my laughter while we were filming." Tusshar said that the team was racing against time despite the fun.
“We were wanting to get the work done because they were night shoots and they were very tiring. In the month of March, it was hot also. Fortunately it was night, because it wasn’t so humid in the night," he said. Speaking of the fun on sets, Tusshar joked, “Raat ke teen-chaar baje aadmi vibe ka, chemistry ka, camaraderie ka nahin sochta! Sochta hai ki mera shot aa jaaye, main karke nikal jaaun." Tusshar Kapoor’s Lucky returns for a fifth time Tusshar reprises his fan-favourite role of Lucky, the mute character he has played across every instalment of the franchise since the original 2006 film. The character, known for his exaggerated physical comedy and expressive silence, has become one of Tusshar’s most recognisable big-screen characters and is central to the Golmaal gang’s chemistry even as new actors join the ensemble.
About the Golmaal franchise Golmaal 5 marks Akshay Kumar’s entry into Rohit Shetty’s long-running comedy franchise, joining original cast members Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu and Tusshar Kapoor, alongside Sharman Joshi, who returns to the series for the first time since the 2006 original. The film went on floors in Ooty in April, and Tusshar wrapped his schedule in May after 79 days of shooting, sharing a wrap selfie captioned “Lekin picture abhi baaki hai." The Golmaal franchise began in 2006 with Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, followed by Golmaal Returns (2008), Golmaal 3 (2010) and Golmaal Again (2017), each directed by Rohit Shetty. Over five films and two decades, the series has grown into one of Bollywood’s most successful comedy franchises, built around the same core gang of characters getting entangled in cases of mistaken identity and chaos.
