Welcome To The Jungle Wrap-Up Glimpse: A New Low for Akshay Kumar & Welcome Franchise –

Welcome To The Jungle Wrap-Up Glimpse:

The makers of Welcome To The Jungle, also known as Welcome 3, have released a 31-second wrap-up glimpse announcing the completion of the film’s shoot. Unfortunately, the latest footage has failed to create excitement and has instead raised more concerns about the future of the popular comedy franchise.

The film was first announced in September 2023 with a teaser that was widely trolled for its loud, chaotic music and lack of humour. Soon after, Welcome To The Jungle ran into multiple delays and production-related issues. The initial teaser was removed from the Jio Studios page, adding to the uncertainty around the project. The film was earlier expected to arrive on Christmas 2025, but that release window passed without any update.

Now, on Christmas Day 2025, the makers dropped this new glimpse, confirming that the film is instead gearing up for a 2026 release. Sadly, much like the first teaser, the wrap-up video does not look promising. The energy, humour, and charm that once defined the Welcome franchise seem to be missing.

The franchise had already taken a hit with Welcome Back, and Welcome To The Jungle appears to fall even below that level. Despite a massive ensemble cast featuring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, and Lara Dutta, the glimpse offers nothing exciting or fresh. Akshay Kumar’s new look and the scale of the cast fail to leave an impact.

Many fans are also missing the iconic characters Uday Shetty and Majnu Bhai, originally played by Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor. Adding to the doubts is director Ahmed Khan, who comes after critically panned films like Baaghi 3 and Heropanti 2. Whether Welcome 3 can turn things around remains to be seen. Let's wait and watch.
