Over 30 actors? That's a bit too much, no? Feels like they are just packing in stars instead of focusing on a tight script. Hope it's not a messy cameo-fest. The original magic was in the chemistry between Akki, Nana ji, and Anil Kapoor.

Akshay Kumar remembering Katrina Kaif in his post is so sweet. Shows the bond from the original. But honestly, I miss the original cast together. Will be fun to see Akshay and Suniel Shetty share screen again after Hera Pheri days!

Perfect summer release! June 26 is marked on my calendar. My whole family loves these films. Hoping for clean, family-friendly comedy like the first part. Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever guarantee laughs for sure. 😂

As someone who enjoyed the first Welcome while studying in Mumbai, this is exciting news. The ensemble is massive, hope the director can balance it well. The throwback to "Uncha Lamba Kad" is a great marketing move.

Ahmed Khan directing? Hmm. He's known for choreography. Comedy needs a different touch. Anees Bazmee's absence is felt. Fingers crossed the film has solid writing and isn't just reliant on star power. We need a good laugh!
