Over the past decade, the versatile actor has built an impressive repertoire of successful film series, effortlessly balancing intense thrillers, slapstick comedies, and high-octane action dramas. Now, with a packed lineup of sequels and franchise installments slated for the next few years, Devgn has cemented his position as the undisputed Sequel King of Bollywood. A Legacy of Blockbuster Franchises Ajay Devgn's tryst with franchises began with the cult comedy Golmaal, directed by Rohit Shetty. The 2006 film was a surprise blockbuster, and its success spawned three sequels — Golmaal Returns (2008), Golmaal 3 (2010), and Golmaal Again (2017). Each film built upon its predecessor's popularity, making it Bollywood's most successful comedy franchise. With Golmaal 5 now officially in development, Devgn continues to be the face of this beloved series. Following the roaring success of Golmaal, Devgn struck gold again with the Singham franchise.

His association with thrillers also paid rich dividends with Drishyam. The 2015 Hindi adaptation of the Malayalam film won praise for its gripping narrative and Devgn's restrained performance. The sequel, Drishyam 2, released in 2022, not only lived up to expectations but surpassed them, becoming a massive box office hit. Drishyam 3 is already scheduled for October 2026, promising another layer of suspense and intrigue. Dhamaal, another comic caper series Devgn joined in its third installment, Total Dhamaal (2019), proved to be a family entertainer that clicked with audiences across demographics.

Interestingly, it won't be a remake of the Gujarati film Vash Level 2, despite rumors.
