Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film
‘Welcome to the Jungle’ is set to be one of the biggest upcoming films of 2024. This action-comedy flick stars Akshay Kumar and is directed by Ahmed Khan, with Firoz A. Nadiadwala producing the venture. So far this year, Akshay Kumar has faced challenges at the box office, with all three of his films released struggling to find success. Given this backdrop, expectations are high for ‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ especially since the franchise enjoys significant popularity among fans. Recently, however, rumors began circulating that could dampen Akshay’s hopes. Fortunately, these turned out to be mere fabrications.
Recently, confusion arose when the announcement video for the film was removed from Jio Studios’ YouTube channel, leading many to speculate that the studio had pulled out of the project and that there would be delays in the film’s release. Some social media claims even suggested that the film had been shelved. Nevertheless, director Ahmed Khan quickly addressed these gossip with a statement, clarifying that all the rumors are untrue.
What did Ahmed Khan say about ‘Welcome to the Jungle’?
According to media reports, Ahmed Khan stated in his official response, “There is no truth to these rumors. The film is on track, and we will be starting the shooting schedule abroad from October. My technical team has already departed for the preparations.”
Overview of the ‘Welcome’ Franchise
‘Welcome to the Jungle’ is the third installment of the beloved ‘Welcome’ franchise. The first part of this series premiered in 2007, receiving immense love and acclaim from audiences. Its sequel was released in 2015, but it did not feature Akshay Kumar, as he was replaced by John Abraham. Despite the first film’s success, the second part failed to replicate its charm and box office performance. Now, with Akshay returning for the third installment, fans are eager to see how the story unfolds.
Star-Studded Cast
