Total Dhamaal features a star-studded cast that comprises of Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaffrey, Pitobash, Sanjay Mishra and Boman Irani. The film marks Madhuri’s  return to comedy and sees her opposite Anil Kapoor. The duo has worked together in films like Dil, Beta and Raja.

Taking the hit comedy franchise Dhamaal forward, Indra Kumar’s film follows a group of conmen who constantly try to outwit one another to secure their plunder.

The film was recently embroiled in controversy over its remixed song ‘Mungda’. Composer Rajesh Roshan and Lata Mangeshkar  expressed their displeasure about Sonakshi Sinha’s version of Helen’s timeless number, following which Ajay Devgn said that the team is ready to apologise to Lata Mangeshkar if they have upset the legendary singer.
