“Welcome To The Jungle,” a highly anticipated Hindi comedy directed by Ahmed Khan and featuring a large ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Raveena Tandon, and Lara Dutta, commenced filming in December 2023 following an announcement video. Although initially slated for a Christmas 2024 release, the production has encountered unexpected and varied delays since its inception.
“Around 2 to 3 schedules of Welcome To The Jungle have been cancelled over the last 6 months, leaving the actors and their team confused about the prospects. The actors have been allotting dates for the shoot of Welcome To The Jungle to producer Firoz Nadiadwala, and the same stands cancelled at the last minute due to logistical and financial issues. The last-minute cancellation in the shoot has resulted in the actors sitting at home in the aforementioned period, ,” revealed a source.
The source further informed that around 60 percent of the shooting for Welcome To The Jungle is wrapped up, and 40 percent yet remains to be done. “The film has been on floors for over one and a half years now. There are also issues of non-payment of dues to the actors and their staff. Some of the originally cast actors have left the film, and the remaining are still lending their support for the love of the franchise. They all believe that Welcome is a loved franchise, and are willing to adjust their dates to finish Welcome To The Jungle,” the source added. It’s a big star-cast of over 20 actors and getting combination date is a task, especially in an unprofessional environment of shoot.
