As per a report in Pinkvilla, a source revealed, “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.”

 

When asked why Patekar and Kapoor are no longer part of the project, the source added, “It’s a case of monetary disagreements between the duo and the producer.”

 

The film is expected to go on floors next year after Akshay Kumar wraps Jolly LLB 3 and Housefull 5.
