2. The ‘Welcome’ Legacy Continues
The ‘Welcome’ franchise has been one of Bollywood’s most beloved comedy series, known for its larger-than-life characters, hilarious confusion, and memorable dialogues.
The original ‘Welcome’ (2007), directed by Anees Bazmee, starred Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, and Paresh Rawal. The movie became a blockbuster, thanks to its rib-tickling humor and iconic characters — especially the comic duo Uday Bhai and Majnu Bhai.
The sequel, ‘Welcome Back’ (2015), carried forward the fun with John Abraham, Shruti Haasan, and the returning cast of Nana and Anil. Now, ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ promises to take the madness to the next level with an even bigger ensemble cast and new adventures.
