The big-budget Bollywood film Welcome To The Jungle, starring Akshay Kumar, has hit a major roadblock as production grinds to a halt amid serious financial setbacks. Yes! Sources confirm that several scheduled shoots have been cancelled.
According to a Pinkvilla report, “Around two to three schedules of Welcome to the Jungle have been cancelled over the last six months, leaving the actors and their teams confused about the prospects. The actors have been allotting dates for the shoot to producer Firoz Nadiadwala, and the same have been cancelled at the last minute due to logistical and financial issues. These last-minute cancellations have left the actors sitting at home during the aforementioned period.”
The delays have not only affected the actors’ schedules but also led to significant frustration and financial loss. “The film has been on floors for over a year and a half now. There are also issues of non-payment of dues to the actors and their staff. Some of the originally cast actors have exited the project, while others are still supporting it out of love for the franchise. They all believe that Welcome is a beloved franchise and are willing to adjust their dates to help complete Welcome to the Jungle,” the source further added.
Welcome To The Jungle is a part of the Welcome franchise, which began with the 2007 hit and its 2015 sequel. This third installment boasts a massive ensemble cast including Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Arshad Warsi, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Aftab Shivdasani, Tusshar Kapoor and others.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, the film was originally slated for a Christmas 2025 release.
