Parineeti Chopra officially joins the Golmaal 4 gang

Director Rohit Shetty is going back to his popular and successful Golmaal series with the fourth film from the franchise. It has gotten rolling with the cast confirmation of Parineeti Chopra as the lead actress in the upcoming film.  

Actor Ajay Devgn, who has been part of all four films, made it official and welcomed Parineeti to the film and its ‘crazy Golmaal family’ on Twitter.

She tweeted back her thanks saying “Thankyouuu!! I am so excited to be a part of this family.”

Chopra replaces Kareena Kapoor Khan who starred in Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010) and is awaiting the birth of her first child in December. Kapoor has signed on to be a part of  Sonam Kapoor’s 2017 release Veere Di Wedding with co-stars Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania.

This will be Chopra's third 2017 release after Meri Pyaar Bindu with Ayushmann Khurrana and Takadum with Sushant Singh Rajput. Chopra took a two-year break after the box-office failures of her 2014 films — Daawat-e-Ishq and Kill/Dil.

Golmaal 4 also features returning cast members Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade. The film is slated for a Diwali 2017 release.
