After making amends with Firoz Nadiadwala earlier in 2024, Akshay Kumar made the decision to revitalize Welcome and Hera Pheri, two of the most cherished Indian film franchises. The moviegoing public has been incredibly excited about Hera Pheri 3 and Welcome To The Jungle (Welcome 3) ever since Pinkvilla revealed this information. With Ahmed Khan as the director, Welcome To The Jungle soon began filming, and the crew created the largest ensemble in Hindi cinema history. Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Shreyas Talpade, Johny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, and Lara Dutta are among the cast members of Welcome To The Jungle, which is directed by Akshay Kumar.
According to insider information, Akshay Kumar and Firoz Nadiadwala want to release this adventure comedy on the big screen over the Christmas 2025 weekend. Sources close to the project claim that Welcome To The Jungle is being developed as a high-profile Christmas show. “75 percent of the shoot is wrapped up, and the team has also locked a near 2-hour edit of the entire footage shot till date. The film is being mounted at a big scale and the stakeholders are extremely happy with everything that they have seen on the edit table. The core plot of the film takes the entire cast on an unexpected adventure – ranging from the forests of India to Kashmir,” revealed a source.
The source also stated that the producers plan to wrap up Welcome to the Jungle by June 2025, complete post-production, and then release the film during the Christmas season. “While the VFX work for the already shot footage is going on in full swing, and nearing completion, the remaining footage too will need extensive VFX. Welcome To The Jungle is among the ambitious comedies of Indian Cinema, given the genre and the ensemble cast. The film is packaged with gags and one-liners, bringing back the ‘twisted’ side of the Khiladi,” the source added.
