All the essential arrangements have been made and the film is ready to go on floors. Shoot locations have also been locked and the makers are currently working on the action scenes. An official announcement is currently being planned and a special photo shoot has also been done. Welcome franchise has a very special place in the hearts of the audience as it has always managed to entertain the audience with its laughter riot.
The second film with John Abraham could not perform well at the box office. It was in 2018 when the makers had planned to announce the third film. But the film was delayed due to a number of reasons including the pandemic that hit in 2020. Once again the film will be directed by Anees Bazmee.
