Looks like Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor will not reprise their roles in Welcome 3. Instead, Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi are said to be stepping into their shoes.
Fans remember Nana and Anil as the famous duo Udaybhai and Majnubhai from the previous Welcome films (Welcome in 2007 and Welcome Back in 2015). However, a new report suggests that financial differences between the original actors and the producer, Feroze Nadiadwala, have resulted in them being dropped from the franchise.
Producer Feroze Nadiadwala is reportedly planning to revamp the Welcome franchise, and Welcome 3 could be the first film, as the script has been in the works for some time.
The film is said to bring a new twist to the narrative, with Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi playing the roles of notorious gangsters, Majnu and Uday. The duo, who have already showcased their chemistry as Manna and Circuit in Manna Bhai series, are all set to explore a new dimension in this comedy caper.
Reports also suggest that Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal will be part of the new Welcome movie, which will add to the excitement of the cast.
Arshad Warsi confirmed his involvement in Welcome 3 in a recent interview, mentioning the film’s grand scale, impressive cast, and larger-than-life theatrical elements. Shooting is set to begin in January, and the film is expected to delve into the conflict between good and evil, offering audiences an entertaining and truthful cinematic experience.
