EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Dutt drops out of Welcome 3 over date and script disagreements

Earlier in the year, Firoz Nadiadwala and Akshay Kumar announced Welcome To The Jungle with a hilarious video. They also informed the audience about the ensemble cast of the film, which had the presence of almost every actor from the Indian Film Industry. One of the many was Sanjay Dutt, who was cast to play a key role of this Ahmed Khan film.

But in a shocking turn of events, the industry is buzzing about Sanjay Dutt’s exit from this comic caper. “Sanjay Dutt has cited date issues for his exit. He has conveyed all the issues to his dear friend Akshay, who took the points into account and holds no bad blood. Sanjay Dutt felt that the Welcome To The Jungle shoot was happening in an unplanned way, with too many changes in the script, disturbing his diary of the shoot, and hence has parted ways,” a source close to the project told us.

Sanjay Dutt has already shot for 15 days, and the makers are now in two minds – if they should retain what Sanju has shot or completely delete it and opt for a reshoot. “Sanjay Dutt has shot for some funny portions of Welcome To The Jungle in the first schedule and the makers are tempted to resume it and credit Sanjay Dutt for a guest appearance,” the source shared, adding further that the team has come up with a whacky idea to integrate in the screenplay for Sanju to go missing after the initial few frames.

Welcome To The Jungle stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty in key roles along with Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon and Lara Dutta. The movie will release during the Christmas 2024 period.
