“We want to issue a strict clarification regarding certain news reports currently circulating online claiming that Golmaal 5 is inspired by or based on ‘Do Aur Do Paanch’. These reports are factually incorrect, misleading, and entirely untrue. We request all media outlets and digital platforms to refrain from publishing unverified information.”
The statement emphasized that the upcoming installment is not an adaptation or influenced by the 1980s comedy, contrary to online claims.
