After assembling 18 actors for Housefull 5, Bollywood’s ensemble trend has grown even bigger with Welcome To The Jungle, which brings together a massive 24-member cast - Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Raveena Tandon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Lara Dutta, Tusshar Kapoor, and several others. The scale of Welcome To The Jungle signals a clear step up in ambition when it comes to multi-starrer projects in mainstream Hindi cinema.
Welcome To The Jungle recently wrapped its year-end shooting schedule in Mumbai, marking an important milestone for the large-scale production. To announce the wrap and extend Christmas wishes, Akshay Kumar shared a behind-the-scenes video featuring the cast.
The clip hinted at Akshay being seen in two different avatars in the film — a younger and an older version — adding intrigue to the project. Announcing the wrap, the actor wrote, “Wishing one and all a very Merry Christmas from the giant cast of Welcome to the Jungle! In cinemas 2026. Never have I ever been part of something so big… none of us have. We can’t wait to present our gift to you. It’s a wrap, people! Well done, gang. Such a huge effort from everyone involved in making this happen. From our big family to yours at home, we wish you nothing but the best for 2026.”
