Sharman Joshi Requested Rohit Shetty For Next Golmaal Film, Know Why He Was Dropped From Series

Sharman Joshi revealed why he was dropped from the Golmaal series after featuring in first part as Laxman

Months back Rohit Shetty confirmed the extension of his comedy franchise Golmaal. The filmmaker had approved of Golmaal 5 with Ajay Devgn. Golmaal is Rohit Shetty’s comedy action universe starting with Golmaal – Fun Unlimited in 2006. The first film was created with the cast of Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, and Tusshar Kapoor in the lead. However, when the sequel was released Sharman was not a part of it while the other cast remained same. Read on to know why.

Sharman Joshi was seen in the first installment of Golmaal but he didn’t feature in the rest of the chapters. While now the fifth installment is on the cards the actor has opened up on his exit from the comedy franchise. Unknown to Joshi himself he was dropped due to management issues and as a result audience didn’t see him returning as Laxman.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sharman Joshi shared why he didn’t feature in the Golmaal series after part 1. “My management team was not communicating too well. And money was, of course, the factor. They were seeing a price, which the producers were not very comfortable with. I was not aware that this was going on. By the time, I got to know, I approached them. Both my manager and me had an understanding that once I like a script, money should never be the criteria for which we do not end up doing a film. He was doing a great job otherwise, this was just one such project, which happened to not work out with his best intentions. So we continue to work together but this was one thing that unfortunately did not work out.”

Further, he also revealed that he requested the filmmaker to bring him back on board for the next chapter. He said, “I begged and pleaded I said, please. No, no, I am joking. I did request him that I wanted to be a part of the next one. And he just said ‘Yeah, yeah’. That is where it was left at ambiguous ‘Yeah, yeah’. So I don’t know whether I actually be a part of it.”

The duo recently shared the screen in an advertisement for Olx. Rohit Shetty released the teaser of his latest film Cirkus. It is a full-fledged comedy film starring Ranveer Singh in dual role. The trailer of Cirkus will drop on December 2 while the movie will release during Christmas.
