The 2007 film Welcome is considered a cult classic. Audiences loved the chemistry between Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, and Anil Kapoor and people still cherish it today.
Hence, many missed Akshay Kumar when he did not appear in Welcome Back (2015). Now, while Akshay Kumar has returned for Welcome to the Jungle, Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar are not part of the film this time.
Akshay Kumar on Nana and Anil’s absence
Akshay Kumar spoke openly about this during a recent conversation. He stated that Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar are like family to him, and if Welcome 4 is made, everyone will certainly appear together.
It is worth noting that Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar played memorable characters, Uday Shetty and Majnu Bhai, in Welcome. Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, and Paresh Rawal were also part of the film. The duo later appeared in Welcome Back (2015), which also featured John Abraham and Shruti Haasan.
