Director, Rohit Shetty who previously director comedy flick, Golmaal 3
(2010), did first give Ajay Devgn an offer for Golmaal 4, but Devgan
said "GOLMAAL 4 will happen next to next year. It's necessary to have
two years gap between two GOLMAAL films. It's not good if it comes every
year.", and without Ajay Devgn the film could not go on, so Shetty
delayed Golmaal 4, and announced to make Bol Bachchan also starring
41-year old Ajay Devgn. In January 2011, it was revealed that film is a
tribute to the original Gol Maal (1979) directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee
with Abhishek Bachchan playing the role of Ram Prasad, essayed by Amol
Palekar in the original and Ajay Devgn playing the role of Bhawani
Shankar (Utpal Dutt). Asin Thottumkal has been roped in for the female
lead. Earlier, actress Genelia D'Souza was signed to play the second
female lead, but due to her differneces with the makers, she was either
dropped from the project, or she walked out, a fact which is unknown.
