‘Welcome 3’ titled ‘Welcome To The Jungle’; here’s when Akshay Kumar-Suniel Shetty starrer will release

The third film in the ‘Welcome’ franchise has been making headlines for a long time and now the makers have announced that it will be titled ‘Welcome To The Jungle’.

Sharing the big news, producer Firoz Nadiadwala revealed that the movie will hit theatres on Christmas next year.

‘FIROZ A NADIADWALA LOCKS CHRISTMAS 2024 FOR ‘WELCOME 3’… #WelcomeToTheJungle is the title of the third instalment of #Welcome franchise… Producer #FirozANadiadwala has decided to bring the family entertainer in #Christmas2024,; trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote while sharing the big update.

If reports are to be believed, Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor will not be a part of ‘Welcome 3’. For the unversed, the actors played the iconic duo - Uday Bhai and Majnu Bhai in both ‘Welcome’ movies. A report by Pinkvilla recently claimed they have been replaced by Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi for ‘Welcome 3’.

‘Of the 3 films under Firoz Nadiadwala’s banner, Welcome might be the first to take off as the script is ready a while back. The filmmaker is planning to bring a spin to the narrative of this comic caper by getting Sanjay Dutt and Arshad to play the notorious gangsters – Majnu and Uday. The duo have already shown their chemistry as Munna and Circuit and now it will be time to explore the dimension in a new franchise,’ a source cited by the entertainment portal claimed.

Arshad confirmed that he is a part of ‘Welcome 3’ in July.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actor said, ‘The scale of Welcome 3: the cost, the climax, is unreal. It is an insanely larger-than-life theatrical film which I will be a part of. It has me, Akshay Kumar, Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), Paresh Rawal and lots of other people.’
