Shibasish Sarkar also released a statement to the media on the release date of the film. "Golmaal Again, one of the most successful franchises of the Indian film industry, has created huge curiosity and demand among the exhibitors and distributors of the country. On their demand, we decided on a wide-scale release in the Diwali weekend of 2017, the festival period being apt for families and children," Mumbai Mirror quoted his statement.

The film unit, which recently wrapped up its Mumbai schedule, is now busy shooting for Golmaal Again in Hyderabad. "After this month-long schedule they will take a break, followed by another schedule in Ooty towards the end of May or early June," a source from the team told Mumbai Mirror.

Meanwhile, Arshad Warsi confirmed on his Twitter handle that the shooting of Golmaal Again is fast inching towards its completion. This morning, comedy actor tweeted: "Good morning... #GolmaalAgain is zipping towards finish line. Working with the coolest cast in the hottest weather..."

Golmaal Again, 2.0 and Secret Superstar are highly-talked about and most-awaited Indian movies of 2017. The clash among the three films is surely going to create a scarcity of theatres and also split the viewers among them. The clash is sure to cause losses to the makers of these movies, if they do not take necessary action to avoid this mega clash at the box office.
