Rohit Shetty’s directorial Golmaal is regarded as one of the most entertaining movies of his career. As the title of Golmaal suggests, it was undoubtedly a ‘fun unlimited’ entertainer. The 2006 movie is cherished for its hilarious dialogues, slapstick comedy sequences, and ensemble star cast. Recently, Golmaal actor Arshad Warsi shared that his co-star Ajay Devgn has a ‘wicked sense of humor’. Arshad also revealed how they improvised the iconic Black sequence in the film.

During his latest interview with Mashable India, Arshad Warsi spilled the beans about the Black scene in Golmaal: Fun Unlimited. Arshad revealed that the improvised sequence wasn’t written in the script.

“Bahot mazaa aata tha wahan pe. Ajay has got a wicked sense of humor. (I had great fun on the sets. Ajay Devgn has a wicked sense of humor). We kind of started doing this madness…I was cracking up on ‘barf padne wali hai’…It’s great fun doing this nonsense. I love it,” the Golmaal star recounted.

Arshad Warsi further revealed that the writer penned the sequence on the sets of Golmaal. Arshad added that he and his co-star Ajay performed the scene as they did. The hilarious sequence also featured actor Manoj Joshi.

Golmaal: Fun Unlimited starred Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, and Tusshar Kapoor in the lead roles. They were cast as four friends, Gopal, Madhav, Laxman, and Lucky who get caught up in hilarious situations. The 2006 film also featured Rimi Sen, Sanjay Mishra, Paresh Rawal, Sushmita Mukherjee and Mukesh Tiwari.

Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal franchise has had three more installments so far, Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3, and Golmaal Again. Golmaal 5, the fifth film of the Golmaal series, is in the pipeline. The makers hinted at the upcoming film in Aankh Marey, the song from Simmba in 2018.

Earlier, in an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Rohit Shetty confirmed that Golmaal 5 is happening. “Abhi waqt hai. Golmaal series toh banti rahegi. Aisa toh ho nahin sakta ki nahin bane (There is still time. Golmaal series will continue to be made. It’s not possible that the film won’t happen). But it will take time,” he said.

Arshad Warsi was recently seen in Abhishek Saxena’s Bandaa Singh Chaudhary. The film was released on October 25, 2024.

A new spinoff novel based on the popular manga Sakamoto Days will be released soon. Titled Sakamoto Days Koroshiya Blues (Sakamoto Days: Assassin Blues), the novel will hit shelves on December 4. Renka Misaki, who previously wrote the manga’s first novel adaptation, is the author of this new work. The novel will feature exclusive episodes that expand on the story.

Sakamoto Days, created by Yuuto Suzuki, began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in November 2020. The manga follows Taro Sakamoto, a former top assassin who has retired from his dangerous life to lead a quieter existence as a family man. However, his past threatens to catch up with him, providing a unique blend of action and comedy. The 19th compiled book volume of the manga is set to be published by Shueisha on November 1.

In addition to the novel, Sakamoto Days has inspired a spinoff manga titled Sakamoto Holidays, which started on July 4 in Shueisha’s Saikyō Jump. Tetsu Ōkawa, an assistant on the main series, is illustrating the spinoff. The original manga recently took a brief hiatus due to Suzuki’s health but returned on October 15.

English-speaking fans can read Sakamoto Days through Viz Media and MANGA Plus, which both offer digital versions. The manga’s premise is engaging: Sakamoto, once a feared assassin, must navigate life as a chubby neighborhood store owner while protecting his family from danger. Viz Media is also set to release the 14th volume in print on November 5.

Moreover, an anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days is scheduled to premiere in January 2025, with Tomokazu Sugita voicing the lead character, Taro Sakamoto. This combination of novel, manga, and upcoming anime highlights the growing popularity of the Sakamoto Days franchise.
