Akshay Kumar recently dropped the official announcement of ‘Welcome to the Jungle and fans are buzzing with excitement for this film. This film cast many stellar actors like Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Disha Pataani, Rajpal Yadav, Shreyas Talpade, and many more! Fans were extremely curious as to why the iconic Nana Patekar wasn’t a part of the third installment of Welcome. Now Nana Patekar has opened up about the reason why he is not a part of the film.

In the Akshay Kumar starrer Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi took the roles of Uday and Majnu from the Welcome franchise. In response to not being cast in the film, Nana Patekar, during the trailer launch of his upcoming movie, ‘The Vaccine War,’ shared his perspective about why he thinks he is not a part of the film, etc. This is what Uday Shetty said during the trailer drop according to Pinkvilla.

Maybe I have become too old and jaded and that’s why they didn’t cast me for Welcome 3. It’s that simple.

Welcome To The Jungle is highly awaited and I cannot wait to see what this third installment has for us all, especially after the epic announcement!
