Late on January 31, 2026, chaos hit Bollywood in the most unexpected way. Gunshots rang out in front of director Rohit Shetty’s house in Mumbai’s Juhu neighborhood, yeah, the guy behind the Golmaal and Singham blockbusters. Suddenly, police sirens, flashing lights, the works. Nobody got hurt, thank God, but the whole thing has left everyone in the industry rattled and wondering: is Golmaal 5 about to hit a major roadblock?

Here’s what went down. Around midnight, someone fired four or five shots at Shetty’s building. The cops showed up fast, sealed off the area, and brought in forensic teams. They combed through the place for clues while CCTV cameras caught the shooter in the act, firing and then bolting. The attack wasn’t random, either. Word is, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang admitted to it and even sent out warnings for Shetty to steer clear of their business. By the next day, Pune Police had already picked up five suspects: Aman Anand, Aditya Gyaneshwar, Siddharth Deepak, Samarth, and Swapnil. The police didn’t waste time.

As for Rohit Shetty, he’s not taking chances. He’s canceled everything for the next couple of days, work meetings, social plans, all of it. Friends say he’s asked everyone to stay away from his place for now, just to be safe. And the timing honestly couldn’t be worse. Golmaal 5, starring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, and the usual gang, was supposed to start shooting mid-February. They’d already started building those signature over-the-top sets in Film City: a café, a police station, the whole shebang. The first shooting schedule was going to last about a month, with everyone gearing up for the kind of mayhem fans love.

But now, who knows? Security is tight, and the whole production is basically on pause until Shetty and the police give the green light. According to reports, everything’s up in the air, if Shetty’s not comfortable, or if the police say no, Golmaal 5 won’t roll as planned. The anticipation for this sequel has been through the roof since Golmaal Again dropped back in 2017, so yeah, fans are bummed.

Bollywood has dealt with underworld threats before, but this one hits different. The Bishnoi gang has a nasty reputation, they were behind the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala and have menaced stars like Salman Khan. Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Nirupam has already slammed the attack, calling it an obvious attempt to scare or extort Shetty. He’s demanding the government step up and protect the industry.

While the police dig into the evidence, analyzing bullets, checking gang links, Bollywood’s rallying around Shetty. Social media’s gone wild, with fans furious about the security lapse and calling for justice. The whole thing’s a brutal reminder that behind all the glitz, Mumbai’s film world can get very real, very fast.

So, for die-hard Golmaal fans, the wait just got longer. Will Shetty come back swinging, or is the franchise stuck in limbo? It all depends on what happens next. For now, everyone’s watching, hoping for good news, and crossing their fingers that this crazy story gets the happy ending it deserves.
