Welcome to the Jungle (2026)
Welcome to the Jungle is the highly anticipated third instalment in Bollywood's beloved Welcome comedy franchise. Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala, this star-studded entertainer shifts the franchise's trademark chaotic comedy from the urban cityscape to a sprawling, untamed jungle.

The production moves to a remote jungle where a film crew and a group of quirky criminals violently and hilariously cross paths, leading to a series of absurd misadventures and high-octane slapstick action.
