Akshay Kumar starrer Welcome To The Jungle lately has been grabbing headlines ever since the film went on floors in 2023. The film which was scheduled to release last year, has been facing several delays. Now, several rumors are going around that the comedy film has landed in financial trouble.
Welcome To The Jungle's financial woes
According to a report in Pinkvilla, it has been claimed that the film has hit a roadblock due to a financial dispute. With 2-3 shooting scheduled cancelled over 6 months, it has left the actors and the crew uncertain and confused. This is more worrisome as Akshay Kumar reportedly holds an 80% stake in the film's profits, while 20% for Firoz Nadiadwala and other contributors.
