Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan starrer Shaitaan was a huge hit at the box office. The supernatural thriller film received an overwhelming response. Well, for a long time rumours have been going on that the sequel is in the making, but an official confirmation is still awaited. Recently, Peeping Moon has reported that the shoot will begin in 2026 and Vikas Bahl will be directing it.
PeepingMoon.com mentioned that Shaitaan 2 is scheduled to go on floors in 2026. The sequel will reportedly be set in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, an area infamous for its association with black magic rituals. Shaitaan 2 will be an original story and not a remake of the upcoming Gujarati horror sequel Vash Level 2. Report also claims that Vikas Bahl will return as the director and is expected to begin work on Shaitaan 2 after the release of his romantic comedy Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling.
Released on March 8, Shaitaan was presented by Jio Studios, Devgn Films and Panorama Studios. It was produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak and directed by Vikas Bahl. It is a psychological thriller in which 'Shaitaan' R Madhavan takes charge of Ajay Devgn's daughter.
Shaitaan also marked Jyotika's first Bollywood film in 25 years. She made her acting debut with Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, in Hindi, back in 1997.
Reportedly, Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn is back at it again with Golmaal 5. According to a Pinkvilla report, the fifth installment of the Golmaal franchise is all set to roll out in early 2026. But before that, Shetty is busy wrapping up the Rakesh Maria biopic starring John Abraham, which is scheduled to be completed by September 2025.
Devgn will, of course, be back leading the pack of the famously dysfunctional Golmaal gang—Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu, Shreyas Talpade, and the legendary Johnny Lever.
The Golmaal series kicked off way back in 2006 with Golmaal: Fun Unlimited and has since delivered three more laugh riots, with the last one, Golmaal Again, releasing in 2017.
