Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is constantly in the news over his latest film releases and the actor has a huge fan following courtesy his relatable performances. And now, with his latest film Welcome To The Jungle in theatres, all eyes are turning to its digital rollout. When will Welcome To The Junge OTT release be announced? That is the question on most people's minds. And now, there is some positve movement. Welcome To The Jungle OTT release is set to be on JioHotstar once its run in theatres wraps up. The film's cast virtually reads like a who's who of Bollywood - Suniel Shetty, Disha Patani, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Johnny Lever, and more.
Ahead of its release, check out the Welcome To The Jungle story, how it has performed so far, and the cast that has brought this latest chapter of the franchise to life.
JioHotstar platform has been confirmed as the film's digital home through its own promotional material. JioHotstar has picked up the digital rights to Welcome To The Jungle. The platform is locked in as the film's streaming home.
Next question on the fans' minds is, when is the Welcome To The Jungle OTT release date going to be? With most Bollywood blockbusters now sticking to an eight week gap between theatres and streaming, that's roughly the timeline fans should expect once the film finishes its cinema run. The exact OTT release date on JioHotstar will likely depend on how well it keeps doing at the box office.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, the story follows a wealthy businessman turned politician who comes up with a strange plan to turn two thousand crore rupees of black money into clean, legitimate income. His idea is to fund what he's convinced will be the biggest flop in Indian film history. Naturally, things don't go as planned. A chaotic shoot in a remote jungle spirals out of control when the film crew gets mistaken for an actual military unit and ends up caught in the middle of a real terrorist plot, mixing action with the kind of humour the franchise is known for.
Akshay Kumar leads the comedy alongside Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Raveena Tandon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Lara Dutta, and several others. Together, they bring back the franchise's usual mix of slapstick comedy, action, and mistaken identity that fans have come to expect.
The film has had a solid opening at the ticket counters. According to Sacnilk, Welcome To The Jungle has earned nearly ₹98 crore in India net collections, crossed ₹116 crore gross domestically and taken its worldwide total beyond ₹143 crore during its first week, reflecting solid audience interest despite stiff competition.
