Akshay Kumar's 'Welcome 3' Gets A New Addition To Its Steller Star Cast

Mumbai, August 2 - It is known to everyone that producer Firoz Nadiadwala is reviving his iconic comic caper franchises, "Welcome", "Hera Pheri", and "Awara Paagal Deewana". Akshay Kumar has reportedly been attached to headline the sequels to these blockbusters and it seems, "Welcome 3" will be the first among them to go on floors.

Over the last few months, "Welcome 3" has been in the news regarding its casting. While Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal were already confirmed, it was recently reported that Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi will also be making their debut in the "Welcome" franchise before Arshad confirmed the same. It has been reported that the duo will be replacing Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor as Uday Shetty and Majnu, respectively.



Now, according to Pinkvilla, the makers have also roped in Bobby Deol to play an important role. It is said that the script of "Welcome 3" has turned out to be really hilarious and the makers are on the verge of getting a big ensemble cast on board for this film. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala has managed to get on board some of the biggest names from the 90s for Welcome 3 – Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, and now Bobby Deol.

The shoot of "Welcome 3" will commence in 2024 and it will go on floors before "Hera Pheri 3" which has stuck in legal trouble. Meanwhile, the makers are also in the process to lock the leading ladies for "Welcome 3". "Like all films in the franchise, the core comedy of Welcome will derive from the challenges of getting married", the report says. The name of the director has been kept under wraps for now.
