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,” a source cited by the entertainment portal PinkVilla claimed earlier.

When Arshad Warsi confirmed that he is indeed a part of Welcome 3, he told Hindustan Times in an interview, “The scale of Welcome 3: the cost, the climax, is unreal. It is an insanely larger-than-life theatrical film which I will be a part of. It has me, Akshay Kumar, Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), Paresh Rawal and lots of other people.”

Welcome Back To The Jungle will be helmed by Ahmed Khan, produced by Feroz Nadiadwala, Jyoti Deshpande. It is slated to release during Christmas, on December 25, 2024.
