'Welcome 3' titled as 'Welcome To The Jungle'; Akshay Kumar starrer set for Christmas 2024 release

The eagerly awaited 'Welcome 3' has been the talk of the town for quite some time, and the much-anticipated announcement has finally been made. The third installment of the successful franchise will be titled "Welcome To The Jungle." Producer Firoz Nadiadwala recently shared this exciting news with fans, revealing that 'Welcome To The Jungle' is set to hit theaters on Christmas in the upcoming year.

The renowned trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the news, stating, "FIROZ A NADIADWALA LOCKS CHRISTMAS 2024 FOR 'WELCOME 3'… #WelcomeToTheJungle is the title of the third installment of #Welcome franchise… Producer #FirozANadiadwala has decided to bring the family entertainer in #Christmas2024."

Interestingly, the original 'Welcome' film also made its debut on Christmas in 2007, creating a tradition for the franchise. Amidst the excitement, reports suggest a notable cast change. Veteran actors Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor, who portrayed the iconic duo Uday Bhai and Majnu Bhai in the previous 'Welcome' movies, are rumored not to be part of 'Welcome 3.' The dynamic duo's roles have reportedly been entrusted to Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, known for their chemistry as Munna and Circuit in the 'Munna Bhai' series.

Of the films under Firoz Nadiadwala’s production banner, 'Welcome' is reportedly the first to take flight, as its script has been ready for some time. 

Arshad Warsi himself confirmed his role in 'Welcome 3,' expressing his excitement about the project. In an interview, he emphasized the grand scale of the film, describing it as an "insanely larger-than-life theatrical film" featuring an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Paresh Rawal, and more.

As fans eagerly await the comedic extravaganza, we have our eyes on the final cast and how they will create magic on the screens once again.
