Ever since the trailer of ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ was unveiled at a star-studded launch event in Mumbai on June 11, the film has remained a hot topic among moviegoers. While many were excited to see the franchise return with a massive cast, the trailer has sparked mixed reactions online.Amid the ongoing discussions, social media was flooded with a screenshot claiming that Nana Patekar had mocked the makers of the film for excluding him and Anil Kapoor from the latest instalment.The screenshot, which was circulated widely on X, allegedly showed an Instagram Story from Nana Patekar. It suggested that the actor had commented on the absence of his iconic character Uday Shetty and Anil Kapoor’s beloved Majnu Bhai from the franchise’s third outing. However, there is no evidence to support the authenticity of this post. This is a fan-generated AI post and not a story posted by Nana Patekar. The viral message read, “25 actors ko toh le loge, lekin Uday Shetty aur Majnu Bhai jaise aura kaha se laoge?” As the image gained traction, many fans began sharing it while lamenting the absence of the duo that played a key role in making the original ‘Welcome’ a cult comedy. However, the purported story remains unverified and appears to be digitally altered or AI-generated. Nana Patekar has not publicly made any such statement against the makers of ‘Welcome To The Jungle’.The topic of Nana and Anil’s absence also came up during the trailer launch. When asked whether he missed working with the two actors, Akshay Kumar admitted that their presence was missed but revealed that the film has found its own way of carrying forward the legacy.“We really, really missed them. Absolutely. Lekin unke dono bhai idhar the, Arshad Warsi and Suniel Shetty. Toh unke bhai aaye hai, that is how the script has been done,” Akshay said.His remark hinted that the film introduces a fresh set of characters while maintaining the franchise’s trademark chaos and humour.Led by Akshay Kumar, ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ features one of the largest ensemble casts seen in a Bollywood comedy in recent years. The film also stars Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Farida Jalal, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Aftab Shivdasani, Mukesh Tiwari, Vindu Dara Singh and Urvashi Rautela.
