A successful return for the Welcome franchise
Welcome To The Jungle is the third instalment in the popular Welcome franchise. The film revolves around a corrupt politician who attempts to hide Rs 2,000 crores of black money by financing what he believes will become the biggest box office disaster ever made. To execute his plan, he assembles a mismatched group of struggling actors, unconventional filmmakers and local gangsters to shoot a fake military action film deep inside a jungle.
However, the story takes an unexpected turn when a real terrorist organisation mistakes the film crew for an elite military unit, forcing the unlikely group into an actual survival mission.
The film features one of the biggest ensemble casts in recent Bollywood history, including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Jackie Shroff, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Johnny Lever and Rajpal Yadav, among several others.
Following its successful theatrical run, Welcome To The Jungle is expected to make its digital debut around mid to late August 2026 on JioHotstar.
