But the problem here was not of action. Problem yeh tha ki aese mahaul mein straight face kaise rakhe (The problem here was how to keep a straight face in such an environment.) Kyunki co-artist jab koi punch line maarta hans deter the shot kat jata tha (The real challenge wasn't the action. It was keeping a straight face. Whenever a co-actor delivered a punchline, everyone would burst out laughing).”Mumbai, Jun 11 (ANI): Bollywood actors Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Krushna Abhishek with film director Ahmed Khan and producer Firoz A.

That's where the charm is, that's where the hype comes from. Everyone has their own fan base and followers, and together we will take this film forward. Today's youngsters often become insecure when it's a two-hero or multi-hero film. But your security lies in doing such films and entertaining audiences together. When you perform alongside a fellow actor and support each other, the film works. Failure should be the biggest insecurity for an actor. Success can never be insecure.”Welcome To The Jungle is the third instalment in the Welcome franchise.
