But it has been over two years and the project hangs in the balance and a report by Pinkvilla has spilled the beans on what has gone wrong.
A source said, 'Around 2 to 3 schedules of Welcome To The Jungle have been cancelled over the last 6 months, leaving the actors and their team confused about the prospects. The actors have been allotting dates for the shoot of Welcome To The Jungle to producer Firoz Nadiadwala, and the same stands cancelled at the last minute due to logistical and financial issues.'
It added, 'he film has been on floors for over one and a half years now. There are also issues of non-payment of dues to the actors and their staff. Some of the originally cast actors have left the film, and the remaining are still lending their support for the love of the franchise. They all believe that Welcome is a loved franchise, and are willing to adjust their dates to finish Welcome To The Jungle.'
The film was slated to release on Christmas 2024.
Presented by Base Industries Group Welcome To The Jungle is produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwallah and directed by Ahmed Khan.
