Kareena and Sara are in discussions; the finalized cast is anticipated shortly.

Kareena Kapoor, who previously appeared in Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010), is already a recognizable presence within the franchise. A prior Mid-Day report observed that Director Abhishek Pathak aims to ensure the narrative remains as concise as in the first two installments. The crew intends to commence filming in Goa in December and complete the project by March 2026. Kareena demonstrates excellent on-screen camaraderie with Ajay. Since she directed Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010), her involvement imparts a nostalgic allure. The roster will be finalized by the end of December.

Conversely, Sara Ali Khan, who previously collaborated with Rohit Shetty on Simmba, may appear alongside Kareena for the first time if both actresses are cast. The film is anticipated to commence principal photography in 2026; however, an official cast announcement has yet to be made.
