Mumbai, June 16 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's comedy entertainer Welcome To The Jungle is set to miss Christmas 2024 weekend after it has reportedly been postponed to 2025. The movie is directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala. ## According to the report by Hindustan Times, Welcome 3 has been delayed as it has still multiple shooting schedules remaining, additionally, significant VFX work will be required after principal photography concludes which makes it hard to meet its Christmas weekend release. ## Welcome 3 is scheduled to release on December 20, alongside Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par and the Hollywood movie, Mufasa: The Lion King.

Director Anees Bazmee Reacts On 'Singham Again' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' Clash

Mumbai, June 15 - Director Anees Bazmee scored a big box office success with Kartik Aayran-fronted horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in 2022 and they later announced the next film in the franchise for which the shoot has been wrapped up. Tripti Dimri replaced Kiara Advani to play the female lead. ## The makers locked the Diwali 2024 release for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, however, it won't be a solo release as director Rohit Shetty has also locked the date for his highly-anticipated cop action drama Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn in the title role. ## The box office clash between two hugely popular franchises has become a hot topic on social media and director Bazmee finally reacted on the same. During a recent interaction with Hindustan Times (via Firstpost), Bazmee shared his thoughts on this much-awaited box office battle. ## "Clashes are never a good idea. We had announced our release date for BB 3 a year in advance. I don't what to do now. All films get affected when there is a clash, there is definitely a loss in the process. And, it is not about showing confidence in your product. Every director, actor, and writer speaks confidently about their films", the filmmaker said. ## Speaking further about the possibility of change in the release plans, Bazmee added, "We haven't thought of it yet as we had decided the film's release date in advance. Ajay is a good friend and these clashes are not in our control". ## Stay tuned...
