The trailer of Welcome To The Jungle has finally been unveiled, bringing back the franchise’s trademark mix of comedy, confusion and larger-than-life entertainment. Led by Akshay Kumar, the film attempts to combine military-style action, jungle adventures and slapstick humour on a grand scale. While the trailer packs in explosions, aerial stunts and an endless stream of comic moments, much of it feels reminiscent of a low-budget blend of Tropic Thunder and Top Gun, with several sequences appearing more chaotic than exciting.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, the film features a massive ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani and Tusshar Kapoor. Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda further add to the comedy quotient. However, amid the overcrowded trailer and uneven visual effects, it is Daler Mehndi’s energetic presence that unexpectedly stands out, emerging as one of the most memorable highlights and offering a glimpse of the fun that longtime fans may be hoping for.
