Reacting to the video, one fan commented, “Akshay we proud of you you always down to earth sir.” Another wrote, “Nothing, just Akshay Kumar things.”
Directed by Ahmed Khan, Welcome To The Jungle features one of the largest ensemble casts seen in a comedy film in recent years. The movie brings together more than 30 actors known for their work in comedy and entertainment.
The cast includes Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Johnny Lever, Aftab Shivdasani, Lara Dutta, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Daler Mehndi, Farida Jalal, Krishna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Kiran Kumar, Mukesh Tiwari, Yashpal Sharma, Vindu Dara Singh, Nawab Shah, Urvashi Rautela, Puneet Issar, Arjun Firoz Khan, late Pankaj Dheer, Sudesh Berry, Hemant Pandey, Zakir Hussain, Sayaji Shinde and several others.
The film is presented by AA Nadiadwala and Star Studios in association with Cape of Good Films and Seeta Films. It is a Base Industries Group and Seeta Films production and is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on 26th June 2026.
Speaking recently to News18 Showsha, director Ahmed Khan addressed questions about the casting choices and why the original cast was not retained. He said, “So the thought was very different. If you see Welcome, it is a film that is regularly made, and there is nothing like a similar cast. Akshay (Kumar) was in the first one, John (Abraham) was in the second one, and now again Akshay is in the third one. So it was a complete 360-degree turnaround from the Welcome series. So it’s okay, people keep coming and going.”
The upcoming film is the latest installment in the Welcome franchise and is expected to arrive in theatres on 26th June 2026.
