Dhamaal 4: Anjali Anand Opens Up On Working With Riteish Deshmukh; Says 'Our Chemistry Was Very Natural'

Anjali Anand has added a fresh spark to the Dhamaal 4 conversation, with her appearance in the film’s trailer and the Chatni song drawing attention online. The actor, seen bringing high-energy comic timing to the franchise’s loud and chaotic world, has especially caught the eye for her pairing with Riteish Deshmukh.

The Dhamaal films have always relied on ensemble confusion, physical comedy and mismatched characters. In that space, chemistry between co-actors becomes crucial. Anjali’s scenes with Riteish have already become one of the trailer’s talking points, giving fans a glimpse of a comic dynamic that could bring a new flavour to the fourth instalment.

Speaking about her experience of sharing screen space with Riteish, Anjali said the equation came naturally during filming. She described him not only as an actor she admired, but also as a warm colleague who made the process easier and more enjoyable for her.

“⁠I have been a fan of Riteish and everything he has done but now I'm a fan of the person as well. What a wonderful man to work with and so much fun. Our chemistry was very natural and we were always laughing and joking and talking. I was so comfortable in his presence and he only and only encouraged me to do better. It's so amazing to work with someone so experienced. I absolutely adore him,” Anjali Anand shared.

Her comments reflect why the pairing is attracting early interest. Riteish has long been associated with mainstream Hindi comedy, with a knack for playing characters who appear foolish, sly or helpless depending on the situation. Anjali, meanwhile, brings a distinct screen presence and expressive energy, which can work well in a franchise built on escalating absurdity.

The Chatni song has also helped push that interest further. In big-ticket comedies, songs often serve as more than promotional material. They introduce character energy, cast equations and the film’s mood. For Anjali, the number appears to have given fans another look at her confidence, movement and ease within a crowded ensemble.

Why the Dhamaal 4 ensemble matters

Dhamaal 4 arrives with one of the franchise’s biggest casts. The film features Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Jaaved Jaaferi and Sanjay Mishra. It also stars Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar and Ravi Kishan, giving the comedy a mix of familiar faces and newer additions.

That blend is important for a franchise like Dhamaal. The series has traditionally thrived on character clashes rather than a single-hero format. Different comic styles collide, misunderstandings multiply and the story usually moves through a chain of increasingly ridiculous situations. A larger cast gives the makers more room to create parallel tracks and sudden comic detours.

Ajay Devgn’s presence also brings continuity from Total Dhamaal, where the franchise expanded into a bigger family-entertainer format. Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh and Jaaved Jaaferi remain closely associated with the Dhamaal brand, particularly because their comic rhythm helped shape the early identity of the series. Sanjay Mishra’s inclusion adds another dependable performer known for sharp timing.

For Anjali, joining such a franchise places her in a high-visibility space. Ensemble comedies can be challenging because actors must stand out without disturbing the rhythm of the group. The trailer response suggests her character may have enough personality to register amid the noise, particularly through her exchanges with Riteish.

Dhamaal 4 release date and production details

Dhamaal 4 is directed by Indra Kumar, who has been closely linked with the franchise and with Hindi comedy over several decades. The film is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series, in association with Devgn Films. It is a T-Series Films, Maruti International and Panorama Studios production.

The film is produced by Ajay Devgn, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ashok Thakeria, Indra Kumar, Anand Pandit and Kumar Mangat Pathak. With multiple production houses attached, the project is being positioned as a major theatrical entertainer rather than a modest comedy release.

Dhamaal 4 is scheduled to release in cinemas on July 10, 2026. The long lead-up gives the makers enough time to build the film through music, cast-led promotions and character-driven teasers. For a comedy franchise with a broad audience base, such a campaign can be especially useful in reminding viewers of the brand’s familiar madness.

The film’s biggest task will be balancing nostalgia with newness. Fans who have followed Dhamaal expect chaos, confusion and exaggerated comedy. At the same time, the fourth film must offer fresh character interactions to avoid feeling repetitive. Anjali Anand’s pairing with Riteish Deshmukh could be one of the newer elements helping the film widen that appeal.

For now, the trailer and Chatni song have done their job by putting Anjali Anand firmly on the audience’s radar. Her praise for Riteish Deshmukh also adds a personal note to the film’s promotional buzz, suggesting that their off-screen comfort may translate into easy, playful humour on screen when Dhamaal 4 reaches theatres.
