Actor Akshay Kumar and director Ahmed Khan have collaborated on Welcome To The Jungle, nearly two decades after their first association with the Welcome franchise.
Khan had choreographed the title track for the 2007 film Welcome, which featured Akshay Kumar. Welcome To The Jungle marks the first time Khan has directed Kumar within the franchise.
As part of the film’s promotional campaign, the makers have revived musical elements from the original franchise, including the title track and the song ‘Ucha Lamba Kad’.
A source close to the production said: “There’s a lot of nostalgia attached to the Welcome franchise, especially its music. Ahmed was involved with the original film’s title track, so revisiting that legacy nearly two decades later was a special moment for the team. The idea was to retain the recall value while giving the songs a fresh scale and presentation suited to Welcome To The Jungle.”
The recently released track ‘Ucha Lamba Kad Forever’, featuring Akshay Kumar and Disha Patani, is a reworked version of the original song associated with Kumar and Katrina Kaif from the 2007 film.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, Welcome To The Jungle is produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwallah, Rakesh Dang, and Vedant Vikaas Baali under Base Industries Group. The film features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Farida Jalal, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Aftab Shivdasani, and Urvashi Rautela, among others.
Welcome To The Jungle releases theatrically on June 26, 2026.
