'Welcome to the Jungle' (Welcome 3) is setting a record for the largest ensemble cast in a Bollywood comedy. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala has pulled off a casting coup that reads like a who's who of the industry.
The Main Leads
- Akshay Kumar: Returning to the franchise, though likely not as Rajiv.
- Sanjay Dutt & Suniel Shetty: Playing the new eccentric dons, potentially replacing Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor's Uday and Majnu roles differently.
- Arshad Warsi: Joining the madness with his impeccable comic timing.
- Paresh Rawal: Dr. Ghungroo is expected to be the connecting link.
The Supporting Cast
The film also features a massive lineup of female leads and comedians:
- Raveena Tandon
- Lara Dutta
- Jacqueline Fernandez
- Disha Patani
- Johnny Lever
- Rajpal Yadav
- Zakir Khan (Stand-up comic debut)
Plot details
Unlike the previous urban settings, this film is an adventure comedy set in a dense jungle. The Acapella announcement video teased a military/adventure theme where the entire cast is on a mission that goes hilariously wrong.
