Filmmaker Rohit Shetty says he never thought that Golmaal will become so big, and adds the franchise will "keep on going till the time we all grow old". "When I started 'Golmaal', I never thought that it will become such a big brand. It was just a comedy film for me," Shetty told IANS.

Shetty came out with Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, starring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, Tusshar Kapoor and Paresh Rawal, on July 14, 2006. It revolved around the lives of a group of friends, and was full of comedy, action, drama and fun. "The way it was received and loved by the audience, it gave us confidence. It was the time when people were making sequels, and we made 'Golmaal Returns' (2008) and 'Golmaal 3' (2010). All these films did really well. Then there was a break. We didn't do 'Golmaal' for another six years."
