Akshay Kumar’s “Welcome to the Jungle” is highly anticipated by many, and as per current updates, the movie is almost 70% finished. In a recent conversation, director Ahmed Khan made it clear that he won’t settle for anything less than a fully-baked film, assuring us that he won’t rush the production process.
During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, director Ahmed Khan shared that producer Firoz A. Nadiadwala is deeply committed to this project and is more concerned with crafting a magnificent cinematic adventure, rather than simply producing a movie.
Khan mentioned that Nadiadwala gave him the freedom to gather any number of actors for the film, and since then, every actor who was approached eagerly consented to be part of the production.
He added that an impressive 70% of the movie production is now wrapped up, catching many off guard by how swiftly things have moved along since filming started back in March 2024. Organizing the busy schedules of all the actors was no small feat.
Regardless, finishing so much work in just a year is quite remarkable. He mentioned that there are only two minor tasks left: filming internationally for the songs and an intense scene taking place in a jungle filled with action.
When asked about the potential release years for “Welcome to the Jungle” (2025 or 2026), the filmmaker stated that he intends to finish the production first, and afterwards, he’ll entrust the decision of its release to Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and producer Firoz A. Nadiadwala.
He underscored their dedication to not premiering an unfinished movie. He voiced his disapproval of the frequent habit of setting launch dates well ahead of time and then hurrying to hit deadlines, asserting that he no longer wishes to adopt such strategy. Instead, he advocates for completing the film up to standards before announcing a release date.
He pointed out that release dates are no longer reliable indicators, since numerous films adjust their schedules repeatedly, frequently resulting in hasty workmanship and unfinished projects. In his opinion, a film’s success ultimately lies with the audience, but many industry professionals express regret over not having more time to polish their films instead of hurrying to meet deadlines.
In “Welcome To The Jungle,” acting greats like Suniel Shetty and Akshay Kumar share the screen with a host of other gifted performers, including Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Johny Lever, and Rajpal Yadav.
In this production, Rahul Dev, Mukesh Tiwari, Sharib Hashmi, Inaamulhaq, Zakir Hussain, and Yashpal Sharma are among the supporting cast members. The principal actresses are Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Disha Patani. Lastly, Vrihi Kodvara takes on the role of a child actor, completing the ensemble.
