The wait is finally over as Welcome To The Jungle has finally locked its release date. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the multi-starrer comedy will hit theatres in the summer this year.
The much-awaited Welcome To The Jungle has finally received its theatrical release date. The multi-starrer comedy is the third installment of the hit Welcome, and it is directed by choreographer-turned-filmmaker Ahmed Khan.
Welcome To The Jungle release date
As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, makers have decided to release the film on June 26, 2026. Taking to X, he wrote, "THE BIGGEST COMEDY FRANCHISE IS BACK – ‘WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE’ TO RELEASE ON 26 JUNE 2026…" As soon as the news surfaced, fans couldn't stop talking about it and flooded the comment section with "Can't wait."
Ahmed Khan on the film
Earlier, during an interview with News18, Ahmed Khan opened up about why the original cast was not retained in the film. "So the thought was very different," he said. "If you see Welcome, it is a film that is regularly made, and there is nothing like a similar cast. Akshay (Kumar) was in the first one, John (Abraham) was in the second one, and now again Akshay is in the third one. So it was a complete 360-degree turnaround from the Welcome series. So it’s okay, people keep coming and going."

He also revealed that working with the massive cast was a challenging task. "Very difficult, but it’s a filmmaker’s journey. There were so many hurdles, so many apprehensions, but a director has to go through hell to make a film. Welcome has been a tough journey for me because of the cast I have. To manage the actors’ dates, money, and requirements isn’t an easy journey," he shared.
