The buzz around Welcome To The Jungle has been strong for months, especially with its massive star cast and constant updates. After the success of the first two films in the Welcome franchise, fans have been eagerly waiting for the third installment. Director Ahmed Khan has now shared key updates about the film’s progress, release timeline, and Sanjay Dutt’s involvement.

When Will the Film Release?
Ahmed Khan revealed that the shooting of Welcome To The Jungle is nearing completion and is expected to finish by January. Once the shoot wraps up, the film will immediately enter post-production. According to the makers, the movie is likely to release in mid-2026. This means fans still need to wait around 7–8 months before witnessing this big-budget entertainer on the big screen.

What Will the Story Be Like?
When asked about the film’s plot, Ahmed Khan gave an interesting insight. He said the film won’t be a typical comedy like the earlier parts. Instead, this installment will revolve around dark and situational humor. The tone will be more serious, with the comedy coming naturally from situations rather than being forced. The makers want to explore a different style of storytelling this time.

Why Isn’t Sanjay Dutt in the Film?
Rumors suggested that Sanjay Dutt opted out due to creative differences, but the director dismissed these claims. Ahmed clarified that Sanjay Dutt couldn’t be part of the film simply because of date issues. Later, he also had to travel to the U.S. for medical treatment. Due to these scheduling challenges, he was unable to join the cast, though he was always intended to be part of the project.
