Veteran actor Akshay Kumar is in trouble. Following the failure of his starrer “Hera Pheri 3”, now “Welcome To The Jungle is in jeopardy.

Way back in 2023, antecedent to his 56th birthday in 2023, Akshay Kumar unveiled the teaser of Welcome To The Jungle (Welcome 3).

Joining the madness included Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Disha Patani.

Now, it’s two years and the project hangs in the balance and a report reveals that over the last six months, around 2 to 3 schedules of Welcome To The Jungle got cancelled 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.”
It added, 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. It is their belief that Welcome is a loved franchise, and are willing to adjust their dates to finish Welcome To The Jungle.”The film was scheduled for Christmas 2024 release.

The Ahmed Khan’s directorial is a Base Industries Group presentation produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwalla
