Total Dhamaal features a star-studded cast that comprises of Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaaferi, 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.
