Welcome to The Jungle's Song Sequence to Be Shot in Mumbai After Makers Cancel Dubai Schedule The production team behind Akshay Kumar’s film Welcome to the Jungle has announced a significant change in the filming schedule for its song sequence, which was originally planned to be shot in Dubai. The decision follows the cancellation of the Dubai shoot for the film King due to ongoing regional instability. Now, the makers of Welcome to the Jungle have opted to relocate the song sequence to Mumbai, citing safety concerns and the unpredictable situation in Dubai. Director Ahmed Khan, along with producer Firoz A Nadiadwallah, revealed that the decision to shift the shoot was made after a month of waiting for conditions to stabilize in Dubai. However, with the conflict persisting, the team prioritized the safety of the cast and crew. The song sequence, which features the entire primary cast including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Disha Patani, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueliene Fernandez, and Shreyas Talpade, will now be filmed in Mumbai. According to a source close to the production, elaborate sets will be constructed in locations such as Madh Island, Golden Tobacco Studio, and Film City in Goregaon. Production designer Sailesh Mhadik is responsible for creating these sets, which are designed to replicate nightclubs, casinos, and private jets. The sequence was envisioned as a glamorous depiction of the lavish lifestyle of the wealthy, a concept that originally aligned with Dubai’s reputation as a hub for such settings. The team had secured the necessary permissions to shoot in Dubai, with the original schedule set for April 9. However, the decision to move the shoot was made to avoid risks associated with the ongoing conflict.#firoz_a_nadiadwallah #suniel_shetty #akshay_kumar #ahmed_khan #arshad_warsi
