Welcome To The Jungle story (no spoilers)
Welcome To The Jungle follows a group of quirky characters who end up stuck in a dangerous jungle during a chaotic mission. Led by Rajeev Kohli (Akshay Kumar), the group includes Yeda Anna (Suniel Shetty), Romeo (Arshad Warsi), Jenny (Jacqueline Fernandez), Nadia (Disha Patani), Zoya (Raveena Tandon), Zatara (Jackie Shroff) and Das (Paresh Rawal). Their mission goes wrong, leaving them surrounded by confusion, criminals and hilarious situations. To survive and find their way out, they must work together despite their differences. The film blends action, comedy and adventure, with the tagline 'Fake film. Real jungle. Real danger. Real idiots!' hinting at the chaotic tone. Directed by Ahmed Khan, this is the third instalment in the Welcome Collection, following Welcome (2007) and Welcome Back (2015). At 170 minutes, it promises a long, wild ride through the jungle.
