The production team behind Welcome to the Jungle, led by Akshay Kumar, is all set to begin an extensive international shooting schedule in the UAE, following a rigorous filming stint in Mumbai and Kashmir earlier this year. The film is helmed by director Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz Nadiadwallah.
Director Ahmed Khan revealed, “We are about to kickstart a mega schedule in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which will play a pivotal role in the movie. Audiences can expect a cinematic extravaganza with unlimited entertainment.” The director further added that the team has already made arrangements for an advance recce to prepare for the shoot.
Producer Firoz A. Nadiadwallah also shared his excitement, saying, “The international schedule is starting soon, and it will be filmed at some truly impressive locations across the UAE. We’ll be shooting action sequences, songs, and scenes at renowned spots, some of which have never before been used for Hollywood films. We are in the process of acquiring permits and rights for these locations, and we’re bringing in foreign action crews and stunt professionals to make it an unforgettable visual experience.”
Recently, there have been rumours suggesting delays in the production, which the team has firmly dismissed. Ahmed Khan addressed these reports, clarifying, “There’s no truth to these rumours. The film is progressing as planned, and we are kicking off the international schedule in October. My technical team has already left for the first recce.”
This clarification comes after concerns were raised regarding the withdrawal of Jio Studios from the production. A source close to the project explained, “Jio Studios is no longer involved in the film. They backed out a few months ago, which is why certain videos were deleted from the internet.” Despite this, the team remains confident, and the project is moving forward without any hitches.
Welcome to the Jungle promises to be a high-octane entertainer, featuring a star-studded ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lara Dutta, Paresh Rawal, and many others. The film is presented by Base Industries Group and produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwallah, with anticipation building for what is expected to be a thrilling cinematic experience.
