After
directing
two
super
hit
films
in
the
Golmaal
series,
Rohit
Shetty's
third
installment
in
the
franchise
Golmaal
3
is
being
awaited
eagerly.
In
fact,
during
the
past
few
days,
there
has
been
a
lot
of
speculation
about
various
names
being
part
of
the
cast
of
this
much
awaited
film.
Hence,
we
decided
it
was
best
to
verify
with
the
man
himself
on
who
actually
forms
the
principal
cast.
When
we
got
in
touch
with
Rohit
Shetty
asking
him
about
the
final
cast
of
Golmaal
3,
the
talented
director
replied
in
his
trademark
humorous
style,
"There
is
so
much
speculation
going
around
about
the
cast,
it
seems
like
I
am
making
a
Mughal-e-Azam".
Speaking
about
the
cast,
Rohit
said,
"Let
me
clear
all
misconceptions
once
and
for
all.
Golmaal
3
stars
Ajay
Devgn,
Tusshar
Kapoor,
Shreyas
Talpade,
Arshad
Warsi,
Kunal
Khemu,
Kareena
Kapoor,
Mithun
Chakraborty
and
Ratna
Pathak
Shah
in
principal
roles.
Besides
some
of
my
favorite
actors
like
Johnny
Lever,
Murli
Sharma,
Ashwini
Kalsekar
and
Sanjay
Mishra
also
form
the
supporting
cast."
Speaking
on
some
of
the
new
members
of
the
Golmaal
family,
Rohit
says,
"Yes
we
have
Kunal
Khemu,
Mithun
Chakraborty
and
Ratna
Pathak
Shah
as
new
members
of
the
cast.
They
are
all
new
characters
in
the
plot.
Contrary
to
rumors,
Mithun
is
not
playing
the
character
played
by
Paresh
Rawal
in
the
first
part.
It's
a
completely
new
character.
Mithun
and
Ratna
Pathak
Shah's
characters
also
end
up
getting
married
during
the
course
of
the
film"
We
also
asked
him
about
the
buzz
doing
the
rounds
that
Arshad
was
not
a
part
of
the
film.
"No...Arshad
is
very
much
a
part
of
Golmaal
3.
In
fact,
we
just
finalized
things
with
him
today
morning."
Rohit
begins
filming
Golmaal
3
with
a
10
day
schedule
in
Mumbai
starting
March
20
followed
by
a
50
day
schedule
at
his
favorite
location
Goa.
Like
his
previous
two
films-
All
The
Best
and
Golmaal
Returns,
Golmaal
3
too
will
have
a
grand
Diwali
release
on
Nov
5
this
year.
Besides
Golmaal
3,
Rohit
is
all
set
to
direct
his
close
buddy
Ajay
Devgn
in
an
out
and
out
action
film.
The
film
is
apparently
a
remake
of
the
2009
Malayalam
film
Puthiya
Mukham
and
is
a
solo
hero
film.
In
fact,
the
rights
of
the
Malayalam
film
have
already
been
acquired
and
in
all
probability
Ajay
Devgn
himself
along
with
Shree
Ashtavinayak
Cine
Vision
Ltd.
will
be
producing
this
film.
When
we
asked
Rohit
about
this
project,
he
did
confirm
the
same
but
refused
to
reveal
much
at
this
stage.
