The sequel comes 12 years after the first film and brings back the fun and energy of the original. While fans were excited for the film's humour and star cast, they were in for an extra treat: a surprise appearance by director Rohit Shetty. Shetty, known for his action-packed and comedy blockbusters, appears unexpectedly in the film, as per Bollywood Hungama. Viewers get a small clue before he shows up on screen, and the moment is said to be one of the film's highlights. What makes it even more interesting is that his cameo has a subtle link to the upcoming Golmaal 5, which he is directing. Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty have a long history of hit films together. From Zameen in 2003 to Singham Again in 2024, they have worked in 12 movies. Golmaal 5 will be their 13th. The buzz around it is likely to grow after Shetty's surprise entry in Son Of Sardaar 2. This strong partnership has produced fan favourites like Golmaal, Singham, Bol Bachchan and Sooryavanshi. Their consistent success has made them one of Bollywood's most loved actor-director duos.

While the film has reportedly received mixed reactions, some viewers have appreciated its humour and performances, while others felt it didn't live up to expectations.

Saiyaara box office collection day 12: Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda's blockbuster passes Rs 400 cr worldwide; beats Simmba, Happy New Year
Mohit Suri's romantic film Saiyaara is going from strength to strength, not only at the domestic box office, but also worldwide. After registering its steepest decline in daily figures on Monday (day 11), the film showed a slight improvement on Tuesday (day 12), which suggests that it's in no mood to slow down anytime soon. On Tuesday, Saiyaara earned Rs 9.5 crore, a slight improvement on its Monday collection of Rs 9.25 crore. Prior to that, Saiyaara had been earning in double digits every day since its release, ranging from Rs 18 crore to Rs 35.75 crore. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the current box office collection of Saiyaara in India stands at Rs 266 crore. It's still the second-highest grossing Hindi film of 2025, tailing Vicky Kaushal-starrer historical drama Chhaava (Rs 600 crore+) by a huge margin. However, it has already surpassed the lifetime domestic box office collections of hits like Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files (Rs 252.90 crore) and Ayan Mukerji's action fantasy Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva (Rs 257.44 crore). Given its current trajectory, Saiyaara may soon edge past its next targets — Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn's 2024 cop drama Singham Again (Rs 268.35 crore), the Hindi version of SS Rajamouli, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR's period action drama RRR (Rs 274.31 crore), and Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Shahid Kapoor's romantic film Kabir Singh (Rs 278.24 crore). At the worldwide box office, Saiyaara has passed the Rs 400 crore mark. Thus, it's already surpassed Kabir Singh's global box office collection of Rs 368.32 crore, as well as that of Rakesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan's 2013 superhero film Krrish 3 (Rs 374 crore), Sajid Nadiadwala and Salman Khan's 2014 action film Kick (Rs 377 crore), Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan's 2014 heist comedy Happy New Year (Rs 385 crore), and Rohit Shetty and Ranveer Singh's 2018 cop drama Simmba (Rs 393.01 crore). Saiyaara has also overtaken Rohit Shetty and Shah Rukh Khan's 2015 action comedy Dilwale (Rs 394 crore), Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan's 2009 comedy 3 Idiots (Rs 395 crore), and Sooraj Barjatya and Salman Khan's 2015 action romance Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (Rs 399 crore).

'Bigg Boss' is a crash course in real life: Dubai-based actor Sara Arfeen Khan
As much as it is speculated that reality shows are scripted and dramatised, former Bigg Boss inmate, the no-nonsense, actor and women's coach Sarah Arfeen Khan feels otherwise. "It has strengthened my bond with my husband though several people tried to pull us apart in the show. Quite like what happens in real life," she laughs. Her husband, life coach Arfeen Khan was an inmate as well. The couple and their six year old twins, live between Dubai and Mumbai. Recommended For You Sarah was last seen in the Rohit Shetty starrer Singham Again , and has been part of films such as Total Siyappa , and noted television serials. " Bigg Boss was a crazy ride. I went in with the intention of having fun. When I walked in with Arfeen, we were targeted first. All of them wanted to break us and tried to pit us against each other because they felt that we symbolised double power. Honestly, people like to see warring couples on TV. People enjoy drama and Bigg Boss is all about drama in real life." That's why she suggests that people who are looking for long-term relationships should enter the Bigg Boss house as a couple. 'It's really a crash course in real life. If you sustain, then you are sorted for life.' In Bigg Boss , nomination is a process where housemates vote to put fellow contestants up for potential eviction from the show. Each week, contestants nominate one or more housemates they want to see leave the house. The contestants with the most nominations are then put up for a public vote, and the contestant with the fewest public votes is eliminated. 'When I started nominating people, it felt weird at first but then I realised how important it is to be non diplomatic and say it the way it is. It is tremendously liberating.' It's a practice she has adopted in her real life. "Often, we tend to walk out of sticky situations, to avoid confrontation, but in the Bigg Boss house, I didn't have that space and raw emotions emerged.' So, how much of the show is about acting and how much is real? "There is a lot of acting in Bigg Boss because people can fake it. But I cannot and my reactions were natural. People trigger you and you cannot act unbothered all the time." Sara explains no one is handed a script though the makers have a script in place. So, what next for the actor, wife and mother of two? "I have shot a couple of music videos.' Her life has largely been unplanned — right from the time she was approached for a Star One show in London at 21, while she was at a restaurant and on the next table sat a producer. She then went on to do powerful roles on TV. "I hated the 'kitchen politics,' type of soaps and debuted in a powerful role based on the story of Priyanka Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. It was called Dhoond Legi Manzil Hamein , directed by Sanjay Surkar. She was then approached for a travel show for the Epic channel, where she covered religious places of India. Inspired by her husband life coach Arfeen Khan who has an impressive list of celebs as clients, she decided to work with women. "I have studied early child development and I always feel that once a child is born, the focus is always on the child and less on the mother. So I teach women the importance of self love. Women need to show up for themselves apart from being nurturers, caregivers and being just professionals.' After Bigg Boss , she admits that she is a bit lost because there is a dearth of star managers in Mumbai. "I have so many friends from the Bollywood film industry and have introduced many newcomers to them. Those people end up getting roles, I don't (laughs). I have realised that in Bollywood, it's not just enough to know people personally. You have to carve out your own journey and if it is written for you, it will happen." A word of advice from Sara to aspiring actors. "You need to be thick skinned, ready to be judged, trolled and booed. A career in cinema is not merely about opportunities, glamour, talent and good looks. You have to have the skin of a pachyderm (laughs)." She also dissuades newcomers to trust someone completely and keep to their boundaries. 'Don't go all out till you are sure. We can end up trusting the wrong people but we can always draw boundaries and keep ourselves out of trouble. Draw that boundary and draw it fiercely,' she says.
