‘Welcome To The Jungle’ Tops IMDb Anticipation
Directed by Ahmed Khan, Welcome To The Jungle is currently at the top of Top 10 most anticipated Indian films on IMDb. This is proof that there is massive interest among moviegoers. After all, WTTJ brings back the OG Akshay after he starred in the 2007 cult classic Welcome .
The story revolves around mistaken identities. A struggling actor (played by Akshay) is shooting an action film in a jungle. One thing leads to another, and the locals end up mistaking the crew as real army men who have come to save them from trouble.
Akshay Kumar’s Return to Comedy & Future Projects
Akshay is coming fresh off the success of Bhooth Bangla, a horror-comedy directed by Priyadarshan. It went on to collect more than ₹ 200 crores globally. Lined up next is Haiwaan, yet again with Priyadarshan, and Golmaal 5, where he reunites with director Rohit Shetty after the blockbuster Sooryavanshi.
With its star power and a promising comedic premise, ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ is clearly poised to be a major box office contender. The early buzz suggests a blockbuster in the making, eagerly awaited by fans.
