A still from Welcome to the Jungle
Uh oh! It appears that Firoz Nadiadwallah’s Welcome to the Jungle has run into a hurdle even before going on floors. On the occasion of Akshay Kumar’s birthday (September 9), the producer announced the third instalment of the Welcome franchise, helmed by Ahmed Khan. Now, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) have written to Jyoti Deshpande, the head of Jio Studios, that is backing the multi-starrer laugh riot, to apprise them that Firoz still owes money to Anees Bazmee for the second instalment, Welcome Back (2015). The FWICE, which comprises 33 bodies representing various departments of filmmaking, has appealed to the studio to act upon the producer to clear the balance payment due to Bazmee. Reportedly, the cheques issued by Firoz to the director, who also helmed the first Welcome film, have bounced. Consequently, the FWICE had issued a non-cooperation directive against Firoz. They have also appealed to the actors and technicians of Welcome to the Jungle to prevail upon the producer to clear pending dues before beginning the next film.
