Akshay Kumar's 'Welcome 3' Lands In Trouble

Mumbai, June 17 - It has been more than a year since the shoot of superstar Akshay Kumar-fronted Welcome To The Jungle kicked off. But things are not as smooth as they seemed, as the filming of this much-awaited biggie is on hold since August 2024. ## There have been reports that the shoot of Welcome 3 would resume soon, but the latest development suggests that the situation is grim around the movie, which has landed in big trouble owing to financial conflicts, according to Pinkvilla. ## It is known to all that the film was last shot in August 2025, and nearly 70% of the shoot was completed. The report says that over the last 6 months, around 2-3 shooting schedules were cancelled, and a new schedule, slated to take place in June, has also been cancelled. ## The actors of the movie are confused about the things going on in the movie. "They have been allotting dates for the shoot of Welcome To The Jungle to producer Firoz Nadiadwala, and the same stands cancelled at the last minute due to logistical and financial issues", says the report. ## In another alarming development, Pinkvilla reports that some of the originally cast actors have left the film, over non-payment of dues and an unclear situation, and the remaining are still lending their support for the love of the franchise. There is no clarity when the movie will resume and hit the big screen. ## The film is being produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, whose other films are also in the same situation. Ahmed Khan is directing this comic caper, which features a huge star cast consisting of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Aftab Shivdasani, Jackie Shroff, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Disha Patani. ## Stay tuned...

'Hera Pheri 3' Producers Take Legal Action Against Paresh Rawal

Mumbai, May 20 - The third instalment of the iconic Hera Pheri franchise has been the talk of the town for the last few days for the wrong reasons. While the fans were excited for the movie, veteran actor Paresh Rawal, who has been a big part of the franchise, shocked everyone by announcing his exit from the upcoming movie. ## It was reported that Rawal exited Hera Pheri 3 due to creative differences; however, he later clarified that his decision to exit the film is for some other reasons. It is said that the paperwork for the film was done, hence, Rawal's action came as a massive shock to the team. ## Now, according to the latest report by Pinkvilla, the producers of Hera Pheri 3 – Cape of Good Films have sent a legal notice to Paresh Rawal claiming damages worth Rs 25 crore, for the amount invested in the film, that is now lost due to his unprofessional behaviour.## As per the report, "Cape of Good Films had procured the rights of Hera Pheri 3 from multiple stakeholders, and even repaid all the debts existing on the film. Paresh Rawal's unprofessional behaviour has cost a bomb to the film". ## "All the amounts invested by Cape of Good Films, to make a debt-free product, were done only after the OG trio of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty had agreed to be a part of the third Hera Pheri film. In fact, Hera Pheri 3 also went on floors as the team reunited to shoot for an extremely funny announcement video", the report further stated.## The makers have decided to consider Rawal's decision as unprofessional and uncalled for, and sent him a legal notice, demanding 25 crore to pay for the losses they have suffered due to his action. While the exact reason for his departure remains a mystery, he was reportedly paid in advance and paid more than his market value, as per his demand. ## The film will be directed by Priyadarshan and it is scheduled to go on floors by early 2026. ## Stay tuned...
