The film, produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala, had earlier shot in the UAE (including Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Ras Al-Khaimah) and began its Mumbai slate from 6 November. “A few setbacks have happened, but the shooting has always been on track,” a source from the unit shares. “Ahmed shot two romantic songs in Dubai with Akshay and Disha [Patani] at the end of October. He returned on November 5 and resumed shooting the next day. Ahmed and producer Firoz A Nadiadwala are leaving no stone unturned to make the film look grand and larger-than-life with its 34-member star cast.”

 

For its North India leg, Ahmed Khan is reportedly scouting forest areas for this final schedule, which will feature “chase sequences, gun fights, blasts, and a sequence with 300 horses in the climax,” under the choreography of action master Abbas Mogul. “Post [the shoot in Mumbai], we will head for a 20-day climax schedule featuring all the actors together followed by a song sequence,” Khan had confirmed.

 

The production designer, Shailesh Mahadik, has reportedly created an expansive jungle set in Film City, Goregaon for the Mumbai schedule: “The area is so big that actors and units are using choppers to travel from one area to another.”

 

Although the film has faced delays including the destruction of a Kashmir-town set due to heavy rains and other schedule setbacks the makers appear confident of finishing on a high note with this North India schedule.

 

With a massive star cast and ambitious action-comedy scale, “Welcome to the Jungle” is now racing toward its final leg and promises to deliver a grand cinematic spectacle when it releases.
