Dhamaal 4: Esha Gupta Joins Ajay Devgn And Team In Hilarious Franchise Comeback
Last Updated: Esha Gupta is all set to return in Dhamaal 4, joining Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh and Arshad Warsi in the next chapter of the blockbuster comedy franchise. The madness is officially back! After delivering three laugh-out-loud hits, the makers of the Dhamaal franchise are rolling full steam ahead with the fourth installment—and this time, they're bringing back a familiar face to up the glam quotient. Esha Gupta, who made a memorable cameo as Prachi in Total Dhamaal (Dhamaal 3), is set to return for Dhamaal 4. While her role in the previous film was brief, buzz has it that she'll have a meatier part this time around, promising both laughs and allure in equal measure. Confirming the news, director Indra Kumar shared his excitement in a recent interview with IANS. 'We are really happy that Esha Gupta is back in Dhamaal 4, as she was also a part of our franchise Dhamaal 3. She's a great actor and a fantastic person. Working with her is always a pleasure," he said. Currently, the cast and crew are busy filming the Mumbai schedule, having just wrapped an earlier leg in the scenic Malshej Ghat. Taking to social media, Ajay Devgn and other cast members shared behind-the-scenes snaps and a cheerful update: 'The madness is BACK! #Dhamaal4 kicks off with a bang — Malshej Ghat schedule wrapped, Mumbai schedule rolling! Let the laughter riot begin!" With Esha Gupta back in the fold and an even bigger canvas to play on, Dhamaal 4 is shaping up to be a mega entertainer. Joining her are franchise regulars and comedy veterans Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, Jaaved Jaaferi, along with fresh faces like Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, and Upendra Limaye. Veteran stars Vijay Patkar and Ravi Kishan also return to round out the ensemble. And that's not all. Madhuri Dixit, too, is expected to feature in a pivotal role. In a cryptic statement last year to Pinkvilla, she teased, 'Well, I cannot talk about it right now, because even I don't know what's happening. But as soon as things conspire and happen, I will let you know." Dhamaal 4 is slated for an Eid 2026 theatrical release, and if the early excitement is anything to go by, fans are in for another high-octane joyride filled with mischief, mishaps, and massive laughs.
