Anees Bazmee has countless blockbusters to his kitty and the Welcome franchise is one. The first part released in 2007 whereas the sequel arrived in 2015. Now, Welcome To The Jungle or Welcome 3 is in the making. Firoz A. Nadiadwallah produces it.
Anees isn’t directing Welcome To The Jungle. Ahmed Khan has taken over the directorial duties. In an exclusive interview withZoom, Anees revealed he was offered the film but couldn’t do it as he was busy with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which is releasing on November 1.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 over Welcome 3
He told us exclusively, “The producer of Welcome To The Jungle, Firoz A. Nadiadwallah, is my fan. He loves my work so he offered the film to me first. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it as I was caught up with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. I do one film at a time. I have a lot of respect for those who manage to make multiple films at a time. For me, even 24 hours isn’t enough when I work on a single project. I politely apologised and agar Welcome 4 banegi toh voh zarur inshallah mujhe approach karenge (if Welcome 4 is made, he’ll definitely approach me for it). I would love to work with him. He’s a great producer.”

He added, “He wanted to also say ki agar yeh problem hai toh aage humari Hera Pheri kar lijiye (If that’s the problem, you can do Hera Pheri with us) . Voh dono mere list mein hai (These two films are on my list). If everything falls in place, I would love to make Hera Pheri and Welcome 4 with him. Meri duayein inke saath hai. I hope Welcome 3 bhi utni hi badi hit ho taaki 4 bhi bana sake. (My best wishes are with the team of Welcome To The Jungle. I hope it is a big hit and the 4th part is also made).”
