"May this film become the biggest gift": Akshay Kumar sends warm birthday wishes to 'Welcome to the Jungle' director Ahmed Khan
Mumbai, June 3
Actor Akshay Kumar has extended a heartwarming birthday wish to his 'Welcome To The Jungle' director Ahmed Khan, hailing the latter's work on the upcoming film.
Akshay Kumar shared a picture with the filmmaker on his Instagram story, where the duo could be seen engaged in a light-hearted conversation.
Sending best wishes to Ahmed Khan's 'Welcome To The Jungle', Akshay wrote, "Tu samjha? Nahi tu nahi samjha" But somehow, through all the chaos, you always got me. And there's nobody else who could've pulled off the madness of Welcome To The Jungle the way you have. Happy Birthday my friend, @khan_admedasas. May this film become the biggest gift of your career."
The makers of 'Welcome To The Jungle' have released the film's highly anticipated official teaser, offering a first look at a large-scale, chaotic comedy built on meta-humour, nostalgia, and slapstick spectacle.
Positioned as the third installment in the popular 'Welcome' franchise, following 'Welcome Back,' the teaser introduces a self-aware comedic tone that leans heavily into parody and ensemble-driven chaos.
The teaser opens with a satirical twist on standard industry disclaimers, immediately setting a tongue-in-cheek tone. The on-screen text reads: "In the making of this film no animals were used... except for some horses and us donkeys."
The footage then transitions into a fictional film-set premise, where the ensemble cast plays characters trapped in a production environment and being paid "crores of rupees" to perform.
Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz A Nadiadwallah, the film is set for a global theatrical release on June 26.

The teaser sounds brilliant! That disclaimer about animals and "us donkeys" is such a clever touch. Indian comedy is finally getting self-aware and meta. Can't wait to see the full chaos unfold! 😄
Akshay's message is so sweet! "Tu samjha? Nahi tu nahi samjha" - that line alone makes me nostalgic for the original Welcome. Hope this one lives up to the legacy. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Interesting to see Bollywood embracing meta-humor. The concept of actors trapped in a film set is fresh. But I hope the jokes don't get too repetitive - that's a risk with slapstick comedies. Still, curious about the ensemble cast.
Honestly, I was skeptical about another sequel, but the teaser description sounds promising. Bollywood needs more creative chaos like this. And Akshay and Ahmed's friendship is goals! Happy birthday Ahmed sir! 🎂🎉
The animal disclaimer had me in splits already! This looks like the kind of mindless fun we need this summer. Hope the execution matches the concept - sometimes meta-comedy can fall flat if not done right. 🤞
