After months of speculation surrounding production delays, Welcome To The Jungle—the highly anticipated third installment in the Welcome comedy franchise—is finally gearing up for its next schedule. According to recent industry reports, Akshay Kumar and the ensemble cast are set to resume shooting in November 2025, with a short 15-day schedule planned before the end of the year.
A source told Pinkvilla, “This schedule will focus on key portions featuring Akshay and the ensemble cast. The team plans to wrap up the remaining schedules by early next year as it gears up for the grand release around Mid-2026.”
“Major part of the shoot has been wrapped up. The makers are eyeing a mid-2026 theatrical release, marking one of the most-awaited comebacks of Bollywood’s comedy universe,” the source added.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, the film brings together one of Bollywood’s biggest casts, including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Lara Dutta, and Paresh Rawal, among others.
The film reportedly features over 30 prominent actors and will include lavish song sequences, some of which were earlier filmed in the UAE.
With the upcoming November schedule, Welcome To The Jungle is expected to regain momentum as one of Bollywood’s biggest comedy franchises prepares for its grand comeback.
