Kareena & Sara in Talks, Final Cast Expected Soon
Kareena Kapoor, who earlier starred in Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010), is already a familiar face in the franchise. A previous Mid-Day report noted, “Director Abhishek Pathak wants to ensure that the storytelling is as taut as the first two parts. The team plans to begin shooting in Goa by December and wrap up by March 2026. Kareena shares great chemistry with Ajay. Since she led Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010), her presence brings a nostalgic charm. The cast will be finalised by December end.”
On the other hand, Sara Ali Khan, who collaborated with Rohit Shetty on Simmba, may share screen space with Kareena for the first time if both actresses come on board. The film is expected to go on floors in 2026, though an official cast announcement is still awaited.
