Nick Jonas on returning for 'Camp Rock 3': Bizarre to be back after all these years
Mumbai, June 4
American popstar-actor Nick Jonas, who is married to actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, is all set to revisit the world of Camp Rock after 16 years. He went on to heap praise on the new cast and tagged them as "absolute superstars".
Nick appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he spoke about returning as Nate Gray in "Camp Rock 3" and also revealed a cameo by the Jonas Brothers.
A video was shared on The Tonight Show's Instagram handle, which had Fallon saying: "Camp Rock 3 is coming to Disney Plus in August. You're coming back as Nate Gray, a character you have not played in 16 years."
To which, Nick replied: "Yeah. The big debate is we don't know if we're brothers in the Camp Rock universe. We're not sure, and they haven't made it clear. Yeah, you're right. So I don't know."
"But I'll tell you this... Camp Rock 3, to basically reintroduce this franchise to a whole new audience, there's a new group of campers. They're all absolute superstars. They're going to be in arenas themselves very soon."
The American popstar said that the upcoming movie is super fun.
He added: "Me and the brothers have a little cameo in it, which was so bizarre to be back at Camp Rock all these years later.... But it's amazing. These kids, they just blew me away, and I think people are going to love Camp Rock 3."
The video was captioned: "@nickjonas says it was "bizarre" to be back at camp with @kevinjonas & @joejonas after 16 years for @camprockmovie 3 #FallonTonight."

Finally some good news for Indian fans of the Jonas Brothers! I remember watching Camp Rock on Disney Channel India in 2008 - those were the days. Hope the Indian streaming platforms get it soon. Also, Nick calling it 'bizarre' is so honest - shows how much has changed.
Honestly, I'm not excited. Camp Rock was a childhood memory but reviving it without Demi Lovato as main lead feels wrong. She was the soul of the first two movies. Nick and Joe are good but this feels like a cash grab. Aur ye "absolute superstars" wali tagline bhi overhyped lagti hai.
As a Bollywood and Hollywood fan, I appreciate how Nick balances both worlds. Married to a desi girl, promoting his projects, now bringing back Camp Rock - he's got great PR sense 😄. But seriously, 16 years is a long time. Hope the cameo is worth it.
