Akki never forgets his roots. That's what makes him a true superstar, not just in terms of box office but also as a human being. The 'Welcome' franchise has always been full of laughter and this third installment looks amazing with such a huge cast!
Honestly, I find these PR gestures a bit too staged. Akshay Kumar is a great actor no doubt, but calling a vanity post 'worth millions' feels like over-acting. Still, it's nice to see veteran actors being acknowledged, wish more young actors did this genuinely.
Farida Jalal is literally everyone's favourite screen mother! From 'Rajjo' in DDLJ to now, she brings such warmth. And Kiran Kumar has been a powerhouse. So wonderful to see them both being part of this fun franchise. Can't wait to watch the film with family this weekend! 🎬
This is exactly what Bollywood needs more of—acknowledging the contributions of senior artists who paved the way. Akshay's humility is refreshing. Also, such a fun movie with so many comedy legends! Will definitely be watching it in theatres. 👍
