Overview

  • Filming was paused in June when the scheduled Kashmir shoot was cancelled following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, not because of payment disputes
  • About 70 percent of Welcome to the Jungle is already wrapped, leaving roughly 30 percent that was to be shot in Kashmir
  • Director Ahmed Khan says the team is scouting sites in Kullu and Himachal Pradesh to recreate Pahalgam’s terrain
  • All 34 cast members led by Akshay Kumar remain committed and will reconvene once the monsoon season ends
  • The originally planned Christmas 2025 release has been postponed pending completion of the relocated schedule
