‘Welcome to Jungle’ starring Akshay Kumar, Raveena Tandon, Sunil Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Farida Jalal, Aftab, Johnny Lever, Disha Patani and others is not being shelved. Director Ahmed Khan dismissed the rumours surrounding this film on Sunday, August 25, and said that the film is on schedule and 70 percent of the shooting has been completed.

In fact, there were reports that the third installment of the multi-starrer franchise, Welcome 3, has been shelved after several delays. Now, director Ahmed Khan has responded to the rumours. In a statement, he said, “There is no truth to these rumours. The film is on schedule and we will start the next leg of the marathon schedule internationally from October, for which my technical team has already set off for the first race.”

The makers have also released a picture of the cast and crew from the sets, which suggests that the film is going to be released and work is underway on it.

According to the makers, 70 percent of the shooting of “Welcome to Jungle” has been completed. The cast also includes Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Mika Singh, Mukesh Tiwari, Zakir Hussain, Yashpal Sharma and actors like Sayaji Shinde, Jackie Shroff and Aftab Shivdasani. The release was originally planned for December 2024. That would have clashed with Aamir Khan’s “Sitaarein Zameen Par”. But now that film will only be released next year.
